Icsea Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 The roads down in Cornwall are terrible pot holes and speed bumps everywhere, I'm looking into a BPU and would like some advice on exhausts with as much clearance as possible and a FMIC that will allow me to keep my panel filter while requiring as little extra work as possible. Thanks Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Any front mount shouldn't be an issue to keep the OE airbox, its just the pipework in the engine bay you have to fiddle with. I had the HKS R spec FMIC but made custom pipe work to keep the airbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 If I was to do it again I would go Chris Wilson’s uprated SMIC, no real need for a FMIC unless your thinking about going big power in the future. As stated it’s the pipe work that is the issue with keeping the stock air box, I had my pipe work made up so I could keep the stock air box with my Blitz 4” 3 Row FMIC. With exhausts, I’ve had the Blitz Nur Spec R, Whifbitz 4” TI and currently now running the HKS Hi-Power Racing. The HKS is the best for clearance, the Blitz being the worst.

Dnk Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) Agree with Rob, i wouldn't go the FMIC route again either as i was only going to BPU, i didn't know any better then If my car developed turbo issues i'd possibly have fitted a small single which CW's smic will deal with as well. I had HKS Super Drager and it used to catch the odd speed hump but the car was lowered on Eibachs, i welded a skid plate to the exhaust so no issues with it having a hole worn in it Edited November 7, 2018 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 CW SMIC instead of FMIC For ground clearance the Tannabe Touring exhausts are pretty damn good as they follow similar lines to the stock and tuck up instead of running straight down the chassis.

Icsea Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 Thanks for all the advice so far guys my main reason for fmic was more because I don't like the gap in the prelift bumper, but it makes more sense to go smic as I'm not going above bpu.

Dnk Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 You could get a quality mesh to help lose the hole in the bumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJJ Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 If your bumper is pre-facelift the Zunsport grilles fit nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icsea Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 If your bumper is pre-facelift the Zunsport grilles fit nicely. Just had a quick look on the site and didn't see anything for supras is it the mr2 grille? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJJ Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Just had a quick look on the site and didn't see anything for supras is it the mr2 grille? No mate they make one for the supra but only really fits pre-facelift. They're on eBay i think just look for an authorised seller i guess.

charlton Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 For exhaust clearance, avoid the Blitz Nur Spec as it hangs really low. I find my HKS Carbon Ti sits a lot better but is not immune from the odd scrape over a speed bump - although, my Supra is lowered a little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy52 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I have a 3" Tanabe Touring Medallion exhaust which has excellent ground clearence by following the stock route. It's a quiet exhaust most of the time, unless giving it some. If you want to keep the active spolier blade (if you have one) retractable you'd need a SMIC rather than a FMIC. Here's a link for the Zun grills. There are side grills for the outer intakes also. They will fit both pre and facelift bumpers and either type of indicators. The facelift splitter bar (if you had one) would have to come off though. https://www.zunsport.com/en/toyota-grilles/toyota-supra-mark-iv-front-grille-set Have the Zun grills on mine, here's a pic of the black ones.
