Exhaust for 7MGE
 

Okay, So maybe I just missed it, but I've searched like back through 35-40 pages and didn't find anything on exhaust. I am completely lost with which exhaust system I should go with.

What aftermarket exhaust systems do you other 7MGE owners use?

What parts should a complete system include? Straight pipe, muffler?

I really like the dual-tip exhaust that I bought with the car but have only seen a pacesetter muffler that even remotely resembles it, and I'm not familiar with pacesetter.

I also don't want an extremely loud exhaust, my goal was to just restore the car as close to stock as possible, with added power with the intake, headers and exhaust. Maybe you guys can help a lost soul? THANKS IN ADVANCE

ok..OK...so to be completely mean.....did you look in the FAQs section???
check the Exhaust systems Researched thread.

I own a 88 na supra, and i went with the complete pace setter exhaust and it wasn't that expensive and it isn't all that bad if you consider the fact that you can't find anything else for the non turbo supra. I have the pace setter headers which where right around 200 bucks, high flow cat and cat back exhaust for about 290 bucks, so you're lookin at around 500 all together without installation. As far as performance it really helps out the top end alot, but knowin how heave the supras are it really doesn't much off the line. Do a search on google for pace setter exhaust and you will find everything you need.

nah didn't really check the FAQS too indepthly... just seemed pretty vague for the non-turbo. And the exhausts I find online, compared to my 97' maxima just seem so darn cheap I expect them to suck!

But the pacesetter is probally the way I'll go unless anyone objects.

srry mrnick!:D

I have seen some nice stainless steel headers for the 7MGE on ebay. Look around.

Are you familar with maxima.org? Many people there have used pacesetter with good experiences. I'm going to be looking for a setup myself pretty soon so I'd like to know what you end up with and what you think of it.

Yea i visited maxima.org religously. Never posted though. I think the pacesetter looks good, just seems too cheap. Like it's too good to be true for it to be that inexpensive. I will probally purchase the headers and exhaust in the next few weeks here. Need to wait for my Visa :D

The problem with Pacesetter headers is that the paint burns off right when you start it up then after that it will rust. If you can, get the paint off, get it coated first before ever using it, then you have a lasting relationship with your header.....;-}.

what about the exhaust? Does the exhaust do that as well? I will probally just get the OBX headers now. Those were my original my plan, but I figure why not go all Pacesetter?! So after hearing that i'll just go OBX headers, get a new head gasket while i'm at it, and replace the exhaust with pacesetter.

After reading these, and all the other supra, forums for a couple years, it seems that the OBX are the choice. You'll have to splice in longer wires for the 02 sensor (no big deal).

I just talked to a guy last week that was building a street racer, and he told me he installed a little box that eliminated the 02 sensor. He said the box simulated the signal of a perfect fuel mixture. It was fairly cheap. He and his dad have built many streetrods, and he has been in the parts business for a long time.

I will try to find out more and let you know.

dude save your moneny, you dont need to spend over 500 bucks on exhaust. all you would have to buy is your header and tip or muffler. I just went to a local exhaust place and had him install my tip and get all new pipe. you get any size you want and the bends arent that bad. i got a complete custom stright pipe exhaust all new and installed for like 60 bucks. just make sure you get a small turbo muffler installed for some back preasure, n/a's need it for low end power. hope this helps, good luck.

I agree with the fact that the headers peeled but i haven't seen any rust and its been a while i mean your choice but i don't think its a big deal but i'd suggest if you get one thing, get everything pace setter because i think you get more out of it that way i think.

Well all I am saying is that there is really no protective coating on these headers. When the paint goes then it loses any protection from the elements. It also doesn't hold the heat inside the header and lets it radiate out. That is why I suggested the coating. I think they are good headers, but can be improved.

I'm pretty new to the whole modding scene, i dont know how comfortable i feel having them custom made. I dunno, i guess i just feel better buying name brand. Probally going to get ther pacesetter exhaust and OBX headers. Thanks alot guys!

I agree with this, if possible go with piping that has mandrel bends. To the original poster of this topic, I know you did some searching, but you probably overlooked this thread. http://www.toyota-supra.info/forums/...ead.php?t=3113 I'll just quote my post from it (topic on headers for 7M-GE).

I have to disagree with this. NA's do not need back pressure, conversely though, going too big (on an NA) is also bad. The ideal piping size helps with exhaust velocity and efficiency, thereby increasing overall HP. Go too big and you lose that velocity. I recommend you use a universal "straight-through" muffler with at least a 2.5" inlet. Hope this helps.

i put pacesetter headers and a test pipe, and a borla blowtorch exhaust, 2.5 in,
cost me lik 800buks, but its worth it..
get ceramic coated headers, cuse i have the other ones and the get really really hot...

I have an hks on mine with dual tips from supra store. Its a little expensive but very good quality and sounds good but not loud

okay i have a question.
i have a 1987 supra turbo with a 7mgte
what would be the best performance and best sounding exhaust that i could put on it with no money restrictions.
please help.
and if you would also like to teach me a few things to get started on because i just got it.
and i wanna get this thing really fast.

i wish i had no money restrictions.

i would still go obx

here they have a few videos of exhausts offered http://www.suprastore.com/exhaustsection.html
if you have a subwoofer hooked to your computer you can get a better idea of what they sound like
