matt k Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 The stock exhaust splits down both side of the car before it rejoins, could you not just copy that design? but obviously not rejoin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mac Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 the problem i have with this is the engine, ie its a straight 6, if we substituted the word "straight" for "V" yes we would all drive round with twin pipes (one for each bank of the "V";)) but anyone who even knows how to spell Supra will know this is chaved up nonsense as soon as they look at the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul mac Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 E46 M3 is a straight 6 and has quad pipes. yes but that will be because the people who buy M3's wouldn't know what a straight, V, back-to-front, upside down engine layout means (or care), they just know four pipes is miles faster than one so thats what Mr BMW gives them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazboy Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 It's a plastic tank full of flammable liquid so shield the hell out of it if you do route another pipe around it for a twin exit pipe. Actually I'd belt and braces the thing with heat wrap around the exhaust too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJ Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Well if thinking that twin pipes on a Supra is 'chav' then I must be one as I think that this system looks fantastic and aesthetically pleasing. It looks totally balanced. Also, the Aristo which used the 2JZ-GTE before the Supra, has a twin exit system as stock, so it's not just for people that buy M3's! At the end of the day, if you want a quad system or a twin exit system then go for it, just make sure that it's done properly as mentioned earlier. You don't want any accidents with the fuel tank!

Yes that particular job was excellent (if lacking ground clearance)...but for some reason I don't expect something of a similar standard...happy to be proved wrong though.

I wouldnt do it to my car either . I think the comment about M drivers not knowing if their engine is a V6 or straight 6 is a bit of a sweeping one.

Ewen Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 (edited) No idea if it has or not. It was posted earlier in the thread and I was commenting on the fact I must be a chav as I think it looks fantastic and twin/quad pipes are apparently chav. I'm not getting into the chav argument, although I think twin pipes would look good personally if they could be done similar to the picture....however, I seem to remember that picture was posted ages ago and the consensus was that it was actually faked. Edit.... My memory not quite accurate...Jamie P posted the pic in a 'twin exhaust' thread back in 2006. Then it cropped up again later that year in this thread.. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=88693&highlight=twin+pipes In which there was a shopped pic of a twin exhaust on a blue Supra...dont know if the red one is real or not.

Ian C Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I imagine it's real seeing as the right one sits irritatingly higher than the left one. If it was four round pipes of about 2" each, two on each side next to each other in the same place as that photo shows, it'd probably be a good look. If it was four pipes of the same size as that photo, it'd look ghastly. -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrik Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 just because most here dont like the idea should not put you off doing it if you really want too. just paint a mental picture and tell the exhaust guys how you want it done, pay them and take some photos, and watch (hopefully) some positive remarks pop up here. im like jim carey " a YES man ". go for it its your vision. its doable alright.

JamesF Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Thats what I meant when I said it. Obviously four 4" pipes would look obscene but something like this might work, but not on an orange supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
