  1. That's a very nice looking exhaust. Unfortunatley a bit out of my price range at the moment. Especially with shipping overseas. Is buying the muffler seperatley an option? cheers
  2. My Supra is still in transit from Japan. It had rather minor front end damage. The bumper was damaged, left side head light was smashed, and a bit of the left fender. I saw the damage pictures and it wasn't that bad honestly. The car did require some of the chassis work which supporting the bumper and headlights, but that's about it. Anyways from the accident it seems like the bonnet fitment is off. Is it possible that it just bent a bit or something? You guys think a new bonnet will solve this issue? or can I some how get this one bent to fit? http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/3395/20120110003.jpg http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/1045/20120110002.jpg
  3. I could maybe just get a HKS Ti Carbon muffler or HKS Hi-power muffler? I could cut the reason inlet out which is smaller and have 4" pipe welded to it? the hks mufflers are pricey but I wonder if that would be my best option..
  4. Well the muffler I posted. It's a light weight stainless steel race muffler. It has 4" intake and 4" output at the tip. The body is 5.5" I think. Same dimensions as the real thing. I guess maybe I can just get the tip welded longer. As far as I know the real HKS Ti piping is stainless steal and the muffler is just titanium.
  5. Well I already have the 3" decat pipe + midpipe (with restrictor ring between them). It's for my BPU TT6 Supra. I was just looking to purchase a 3" catback but that doesn't overly excite me. Instead I want a badass 4" exhaust system. I have this mate over here in this shop which works on performance cars. He should be able to get the job done. I am here on contract in Canada by the way I do not reside in the UK. I am stuck with buying whatever I could here. I was considering boostlogic but my dream exhaust would be HKS Ti sound. So I am just looking to pick up some stainless steel 4" piping. Also I will order a light weight muffler which has a 4" connection, which can join together with the tubing. I could esentially get any muffler which is 4" out and 4" in... but they aren't that easy to find. The Burns (video posted bellow) will have a sick exhaust note though. So do you guys think making a custom exaust is really that difficult or should be pretty straight forward? To get the same dimensions as the HKS Ti it just seems like the piping needs a couple bends and few spots fabbed up and should be good to go? I was told as long as it has the same bends and dimensions I should get the sound of the HKS Ti as a result. For example in the United States a couple years ago they sold this HKS Ti replica. It was all stainless steel so it didn't cost much to make. It was just a clone of the real HKS Ti. They were selling for only $250-$500 USD. Here is a sound clip: [video=youtube;ZqTbLm7C-VE] Also here is a video with the burns muffler. This is a 3" exhaust in this video. [video=youtube;k0W_S-PiVsc]
  6. That looks amazing mate. I just ordered this bumper last night
  7. Well I have the OEM JDM bodykit. I don't like the OEM front lip on the stock bumper, looks a bit plain and boring to me. Previously I had a full top secret kit (front, sides, diffuser, mirrors, and trd spoiler)... it looked really good. I do like the OEM kit so for now I'll just change the front up and focus my money under the bonnet. I am living overseas at the moment so the whiftbitz front isn't the best option due to the shipping. I can find some cheaper replica DO-LUCK or TOP SECRET fronts which my body man will have fitted for me good. So what bumper will go well? or is there some really nice lips out there for the OEM bumpe? right now I am thinking of DO-LUCK since I like how it exposes the intercooler really well. Gives a really aggressive/mean look to the Soup.
  8. Thanks mate but I am currentley over here working on Contract in Canada so I'd rather get all the parts here in North America. I am deciding between the HKS Carbon and Blitz Nur Spec R now. Anyone know if the HKS is as loud as the Blitz? loud is the key
  9. At this point I am leaning towards the HKS Ti, I have read that the fitment on them is a bit tricky to get right though?
  10. I've already owned blitz nur spec for my old supra's and they sounded nice but I am thinking of changing it up. If I can't make my mind up I'll get just get blitz again. I am looking at these options: HKS Carbon Ti or HKS super dragger Apexi N1 EX Titanium or Apexi N1 Evo What do you guys think sounds great and has the best exhaust note for BPU? (I will go for a smaller single in the near future).
  11. thought so, just checking maybe if it was relocated or something. now I can't find where my blow off valve is. no where to be found on the intercooler piping or intercooler, also it has twin intake so the stock one was eliminated.
  12. sorry for the hella noob question but is that the wastegate or blow off valve? I have twin intake and I can't find any blow off valve on my car. I am talking about the one with the blue hose running to it http://i.imgur.com/AuXus.jpg
  13. I have 19" Enki RPF1 I pained them in gloss black. Also my Supra will be getting a new fresh paint job in my Supra's factory color Super White. I just wanted to get the kit before that. I am just thinking of getting the top secret type II front right now and leave the JDM sides.
  14. here are direct links http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/926/81079247.jpg http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/1571/10408825.jpg http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/8426/98white89kmn.jpg http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/5125/27029210150262623549636.jpg http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/1577/1311959030img1955p.jpg
  15. I now own my third Supra. First had top secret front and sides. Second Supra had top secret front, sides, diffuser, mirrors, hood... and it looked REALLY GOOD! I now own a Supra with JDM kit (side and rears) with stock front bumper. I plan to keep this one for long since I will be investing lots of time into it. Got some single turbo plans next winter. For now I am focusing on exterior and the basics. Do you guys think top secret kits still are one of the nicest for the Supra if done right? I have been considering DO-LUCK front with possibley top secret sides? I already ordered a Top Secret hood and diffuser. So I am just looking to make my mind up on the front bumper and side skirts. I also am considering keeping the JDM OEM sides and getting a TOP SECRET, DO-LUCK, or RIDOX front. really not sure and undecided. what kind of combo's do you guys like? I like this look: http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/926/81079247.jpg http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/1571/10408825.jpg http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/8426/98white89kmn.jpg http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/5125/27029210150262623549636.jpg http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/1577/1311959030img1955p.jpg
