1JZ swap: exhaust decision

[nctexan]

Ok so I think I've narrowed my choices down. Aside of aesthetics and cost, why would you choose one of these three exhaust sytems over the other?

If you have another suggestion that is in the general price range of these, please feel free to make it.

Thanks to all!

Raptor Racing.

IIRC the HKS and Tanabe both neck down inside the muffler. The last one you linked is for a MKIV not a MKIII Supra.

Not an "exhaust" then, it's a muffler.

Maybe true, but only if you have the knowledge. If you don't and you have a shop do it for you, you're at the mercy of their skill. You get a consistent quality from a actual company.

Custom 4" with Aeroturbine muffler and a resonator.

Also, the MKIV exhaust has different bends and won't fit a MKIII without modifications.

I agree with this, custom is the way to go.

Like I said, unless you have the skills to do it yourself, you're at the mercy of a shop to do it.

I've seen some TERRIBLE exhaust jobs...

Raptor Racing.

I did a little research on the magnaflow, which is essentially what the raptor racing exhaust is, just modified. The mufflers Raptor is using both have a 2.25" inlet. Even though they chop off the 2.25" inlet and weld on a 3" inlet, the muffler still necks down to 2 x 2.00" on the inside. THough you've got a total flow area of greater than 3", the restriction down to 2" on both outlets will still produce more backpressure than a straight 3" through the muffler.

Nope, no neck down.

Don't make me go unbolt mine to take pics LOL

buy the ebay CXRacing cat back and let us know if its any good
cx racing catback

 

[Poodles]

Eww

Only uses 2/3 hangers, not centered in the notch in the bumper and it probably extremely loud without the silencer.

dude check it out: http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/shopexd.asp?zone=main&id=8231. Inlet/Outlet Size: 2.25in./3.5in., Core Size: Dual 2in. Which I take as being necked down to 2" through the muffler.
