Yeah it does feel much faster. It used to have the stock downpipe and midpipe with cat. So it opened it up some more. It's still very quiet because of the rest of the exhaust. I'm going to keep the dual and find an aftermarket setup from the midpipe to the axle back and installed 5zigen mega axle back mufflers.

It does look a little low now that you mention it. So far is hasnt rubbed or touched anything. But if it does than I can always get it to fit more flush.

I should've used my better camera. But this will do.
Nice exhaust! Does it hang real low? Lets get a video clip of that!

Just installed Stance GR+ Pro coilovers. They perform wonderful on the street. Night and day. Very comfortable and go super low. I relocated the body harness from inside the fender well also. I ran it through the engine bay. The car is very dirty. I just wiped the wheels only. I didn't have the roll the fenders. The rear is sitting extremely close but so far no rubbing.

Out with the old Supra bilstein/HKS combo. In with the new.











And next on the agenda is a fmic which I already have but I just need to get piping for it.

Here's a lil update. I decided to install my fmic because I got the piping. I didn't have time to route the piping because I had to go to school but tomorrow I'll finish it after work. It's a 24x12x3".

I also wired in a chip that converts my KPH to MPH and delimits the 180kph speed cut. So now my digital gauge will read up to 180mph but I don't think I'll be able to get to that speed and I don't think I would want to. It's very accurate and it only cost about $40. And my odometer will now read in miles instead of kilometers.

Looks like great craftsman ship, but I've never understood why people want a Toyota emblem over a Lexus.

I guess I bought mine because its a Lexus.
