Best Exhaust System for '87 Supra (Turbo)?
- Thread starter supraemeallah
- Start date
on my car i run the blitz nurspec and have been for years. its a great catback i love it. people complement the sound and look at events all the time. on my truck i have a custom mandrel bent 2.5 to a old flowmaster that was laying in my friends garage. search yzblaster on youtube and you can hear them both. as far as preference the truck is silent unless in boost. no drone. the blitz does drone some but i deal with it. i think its mainly due to the almost 3.5" piping and straight through design.
I like the more stock appearance of the dual tip kits. I've had both the HKS and Raptor racing on previous cars and liked them both, so did my family and neighbors. I even have a raptor racing exhaust sitting in my shed waiting for my next supra to tell you how much I like them. The HKS is a little quieter than the raptor racing. The raptor has a nicer/meaner growl but still tame compared to other exhausts.
When I was in the research phase I was planning on getting a Raptor based on all the comments... Everyone is always happy with them.
I ended up getting a killer deal on a new Blitz NUR Spec that I couldn't pass up and I really couldn't be happier. I'm running the DM downpipe that was linked in post 9 with a test pipe and the Blitz on a stock CT 7M. I've heard it on a 1J and it sounds good there too. It can be a little loud at times without the silencer but I still barely get a second look from the cops. Orlando PD never had an issue with it and so far so good in Detroit.

any more input on the tanabe medalion touring? I can get one for under 500 shipped, or a raptor racing which is my 1st choice. But for the money im tempted to get the tanabe...
The medallion is quiet at idle but it does flow. If you are looking for something quiet but will still flow when you start boosting, it is a good exhaust.
Nothing beats a 3 inch or bigger full flow exhaust though.

im guessing the big resonator/muffler in the middle is what makes it not flow as much? Dont get me wrong i would love the dual tip raptor racing but for under 500 shipped im seriously considering it.. (tanabe)
If you don't mind (or prefer) loud, I had a BIC divorced downpipe -> 3" test pipe -> 3" version of the BIC Thunder exhaust with a Vibrant 3" in 5" can 4" out muffler and it was awesome. Such a nice sound, deep tone but still with some growl behind it. I got lots of complements on it actually. But do be warned...it was LOUD. I liked it, but it was definitely not for everyone, especially for a daily driver.
Im running just a Down pipe right now. Just for fun(exhaust is in the works) and even though it is pretty loud it actually doesn't sound bad/ricer.

There's a reason hot exhaust gases are vented out the back or the side...I sure hope you aren't burning up your undercoating....
I've also had the Blitz Nur Spec cat back for about 3 years now. Got it from Horsepowerfreaks. Really nice system. My first choice would have been the RSR GT2 Ex mag due to its super straight through design and awesome angle the muffler sits at, but it was already discontinued. Even though the Blitz was really designed for Cali cars, I really didn't have any fitment problems. At first I had it bolted up to the stock DP & cat and it sounded good, but a bit muffled. about a year ago I (finally) I added the HKS DP and a 3" test pipe and boy does it sound better. It's a bit boomy inside with the windows up, but I don't care. The 7M's great deep growl really comes through. I swear it's louder inside the car. I got pulled over for it once, but a paddy wagon was right behind me leaving a light and it was a quiet side road at night so they must have been bored until I came along.
