NathWraith Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Gimmi that opener back you don't deserve it smart a$$. Don't see many internally tinted rear lights? I'll need it tonight mate, it will be it's virgin voyage. I hope it does me proud! Also another question is, can you change the orange lenses in the UK spec lights to the clear ones that fit the facelifts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 They are different sizes, though if you wanted Im sure you could do it with some work ive not opened facelifts yet I need action shots! Your tin opener must be lonely these days lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 Well guy i finished fitting the exaust yesterday, i had to heat wrap the p/s tail pipe as it gets really hot, but my main problem was getting the pipes lined up on either side, so they exit equal on both sides, it took a while too work out but it seems the numpty that fitted the kit didnt put the skirts on equally so it sticks out slighty further on the drivers side than the passengers side, im not too bothered as the skirts are coming off over the winter and im going stock body with wider arches at the rear On another note the exhaust sounds awesome it has a lish tickover burble and when booting it it sounds crazy best bit about is on tick over its so much quiter than the nur spec, il get a vid sort either today or tommorow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Mine is the same, slightly inset on the passenger side! Might get some trims to extend them at some point. Give the area around the exhausts a good polish and do it once a week! This should stop it from staining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh really i thought my skirts were out but maybe not lol ive had it too me mates garage and its looks like theres a bracket at the front of the 2nd decat that joins to the gearbox made out of metal which is pushing it over a lil bit, Do i think il take it off a make the blot hole bigger so it a bit of room to move over i think that may sort it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 What 2nd Decat pipe have you got? I had a HKS 3" when we first tried to fit this and it was really bad. Changed to a Whifbitz one and it was very nearly perfect. The difference side to side is about 10mm on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 Just a no name 2.5 one mines over more than 10mm thats why i think its the skirts because the 3inch part of the sideexit system runs central to the prop. Im gonna get it up on the ramps again to try and fix the problem, im gonna take the skirts off over the winter as its getting painted again, im gonna go stock body so hopefully that might fix it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Sounds like mine was before we changed the Decat pipe. This is how mine looked with the old Decat. Looks fine, but it wasn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 Ive sorted the positioning i took the bracket at the front off and its sorted it, bad news is ive fubbared my 1st decat ive split the felxie part of it, good news ive already got the 1st decat pipe just need to sort a fcd and a pump for bpu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) Il see if i can get a flyby vid done tommorow but imo sounds so much better than the nur spec well from in the car anyway http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd214/safcdixon/toyot%20supra%20tt%20jspec/DE2130DB-6FC7-4251-9B89-B3044F5CB01C-6284-00000C74DB3A436E.mp4 Edited August 18, 2012 by safcdixon (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbryant_knight Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 never seen a side exit on a Supra before. Looks pretty good how you've cut the skirt to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 The brake/fuel pipework looks to need replacing and will need to be insulated from the heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I agree, the manufacturer that makes these for Paul said it should be ok when they used my car to make the template for these exhausts. However I still got Paul to wrap that box to be safe and the pipes have not been effected in 18 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nicholas Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Is a depo racing boost gauge a defi rip off? car looks good but wrap that exhaust it's dangerous as is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 Is a depo racing boost gauge a defi rip off? car looks good but wrap that exhaust it's dangerous as is. Yeah depo is basically a defi rip but about 1/3 the price of a defi and so far i cant see why, at my levels of power/boost then i dont think theres a need for a £200 boost gauge, see the post above about the exhaust wrap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aspire Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 what was the price on the side exit system, is it restrictive at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 what was the price on the side exit system, is it restrictive at all? Check with Paul at Whifbitz about price as I think they were on a special deal! Fine for BPU and SteveL was running something similar though not identical on his 700+ BHP Time Attack car. So I guess should be ok for most! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 Yeah as above really, tbh my car feels more responsive but i fitted the 2nd decat at the same time. On the price they were on offer on the whifbitz website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
