Exhausr systems?

[redSUPRA '88]

hey everybody, my supra is an mrk 3 with a 7m-ge engine. i hav an exhaust leak where the converter connects to the normal piping. i just need to know wat type of system is recommended and wat diameter the piping needs to be? i want it to be as wide as possible without robbing the engine of performance. any suggestions are appreciated:icon_bigg

Usually 2.5" is the max for NA's, but some go 3" with the hopes to go turbo in the future.

ok. so do i go magnaflow or wat? it would be nice if i could just stick with the corvette style muffler( side intake, dual exhaust). but if i hav to ill put one of the cans on it.

You can put on whatever you like.

yea but the reason i created this post is to find out wat is the best -_-

Power gain is going to be minimal, so it comes down the looks, sound, durability, and price. Looks and sound are opinion based, durability is all the same as long as it's stainless, and price is a direct reflection of the fitment quality.

as far as sound goes i just want something that will giv a deep, agressive sound with out droning wen im on the high way. everything else i completely agree with. the price? doesnt matter as long as its proven to be a good product and i dont hav to spend more than 150$

Ouch, $150 is the price of a muffler...

I went with a flow master 2.5 has a great sound but does resonate as I did not put a resonator on there. I will add a cherry bomb as soon as I get the car back on the road after the body work and paint. You can get a single in dual out flow master if that is what you are after but you will want to put some tips on them to make them look better.

Also mine was $300 total with flow master muffler, magnaflow cat and custom bent exhaust pipe for the rest, that is from the down pipe back with a aftermarket downpipe. The only problem is they cut the lower flange off my down pipe and welded it to the new pipe and put no flanges on any of the system. So my exhaust was solid from the down pipe to the muffler, sucked when I had to pull the motor due to rod knock. So make sure they put flanges in so you can take the pipes apart.

If you have a leak where the cat bolts to the cat-back, just replace the gasket...

My friend had a pace setter on his N/A... It was a really clean sound, and not too loud but still loud enough! IMO I wouldn't go too loud as your an N/A and it's kinda ricey to have a really loud exhaust on a non-turbo.

yea and theres no way in hell im makin this car a ricer
