Good post! I know it's a IV, but the principle is the SAME, and the reason why I started THIS thread:

Looking back, ANY generation would be welcome to post there, as the love for supra is universal among us!;)

When I worked as a quality engineer in cold-heading (fasteners) one of our secondary processors was THREEBOND. I did our QAV's (Quality Audit Visits) there, and we had product flow through that facility like a river on a daily basis.
Their products are TOP NOTCH. MEC = Micro EnCapsulation...
Fantastic pictures illustrating your issue, AND the support shots later and from others! This is GREAT to see after I JUST installed MY 61GT this past three days!:biglaugh:
Really nice looking build there, too!;)
I ended up buying a set of CROWS FEET (SAE - DOH@#$! HA!) open end...
You make a great point here. So much information on such things, and often leads to confusion! I set my AFPR up at first with WAAAY low fuel pressure (wrong line, incorrect vac!:cry:) and had poor fuel rise to boost, on TOP of the low pressure... then couldn't figure out why I was only turning...
Here's MY MKIV install post from my "crispography..." build thread.;)
(My car has a "trap door", so it took 15 minutes, but if you have to drop the fuel tank...:sarcasm:)
...sorry I didn't take pics of the STEP-BY-STEP, but it went SO QUICK and SMOOTH that I forgot to take any shots...
At one point, I had a cat-back 3" "straight pipe" done by a local muffler place for $100 on my turbo car.;) (Just temporary while I sourced my Super Drager... but it worked just fine... albeit a bit RUDE!:naughty:)
Depending on how "nice" you want it, a decent muffler shop can often fab...
Interesting question! I think the answer is: Depends.;)
The CAM TIMING clearly has a MUCH bigger impact on the spool-up time than I had realized. Having played around with about 8~10 different cam pulley settings over the past couple months in several concentrated sessions (seat-of-pants...
^^^ I know, not the SPORT but the SPORT TURBO exhaust... but the construction quality, etc... is similar... (I have it in a catalog somewhere at home, I think...)
^^^ The NON-turbo is listed here with that exhaust and staged options...

I don't think he meant it was a PACESETTER for Supra that didn't fit well on the truck, but a PACESETTER BRAND exhaust FOR the truck, that didn't fit well.;)
Pacesetter exhausts (IMHO) are not very well made nor fitted. EVEN painted, etc... and "maintained" (how do you MAINTAIN an exhaust?) a...
Been down this (similar) path.
TRUST ME, DON'T go with the Drager on the N/A in my opinion. I don't know about loudness (it's VERY deep and mature on the turbo car...) but the PERFORMANCE would suffer, I'm almost 100% ESPECIALLY on a stock N/A!
I also did a "Sport Brand" exhaust on my...
BIG DITTO on straight sixes! Even in my old '69 Ford 300 with the three-in-the-tree STEP VAN!
...of course, the Ford Granada straight six 250 left a lot to be desired... but it was smooth.:biglaugh:

^^^ That PIC is pretty close to "bating". LOL!;)
Seriously, I'm pretty impressed with how many 7M's are represented! I didn't really think through the mathematical walk relative ratio out there in production and tenure, but makes sense. I'm wondering how many FIVE-M's were made now...
Love the pics, Kristel! Nice to SEE that car again. Those rims are MUCH better than the other one's!
Looking forward to the "start-up"! Take video when you first turn that key.;)
EDIT: That garage doesn't look that bad... some people are just TOO NEAT.;)
