Exhaust is entirely too small for the exhaust flow you'll have coming.

That said, aren't the wheels the same? AKA swap to your exhaust housing?

Lemme find out...

Yes, they look to be the same size - you might be able to just swap your Supra's stock exhaust housing over, and have a 57 trim CT26.

A little story if you don't mind:

I bid on an upgraded CT-26 on ebay about a year ago from a seller who had a blue star rating. He didn't accept paypal on this transaction. I sent him a money order for it after I won the auction for however much it was for, I don't remember, but it was over 200.00, this was a fresh rebuilt CT BTW with 0 miles. Time passed by, no turbo, I em'ed the seller, no replies for a little while, then he came up with the excuse of his son was in the hospital and he came back home and it was stolen out of his garage, he had plenty of time to ship it as the dates of when this "robbery" happend just didn't add up with when he should have got the funds. I told the seller to give me my money back, no response. I filed the claim through ebay, I won, I got screwed, I only got back 175.00 of what I paid (ebay only insures up to 200.00 minus the 25.00 BS processing fee).
