Um, which exhaust do I use for my Supra?

1988 Supra. There are two exhausts listed: California, for about 159.00, and Federal, for about $217.00. Obviously, it would be nice to get away with the Calif trans!

But, the car is Canadian!! I have no idea which one to put on it.



I can get a Federal Bosal for $177.



I don't think there's a difference from the US and Canadian models...except for the California models perhaps.

Are you truly able to get a catback exhaust for less than $200? Are these used or just the muffler itself?

The Toyota 1 piece, from a 'wholesaler' in Haverhill, MA is $217. The Bosal, also a 1 piece welded system from AZ is $177. Walker also sells a welded system, but I don't feel like replacing it again in 2 years.

I'm not sure of the construction on the Bosal system, but the Toyota system is Stainless Steel. Both are guaranteed for life...but the Toyota is ONLY if installed by the dealer!

I forgot that you're trying to restore it. I checked with my local dealer here and they said they'd charge me 1/2 hr to install the exhaust. That's worth it if you wish to have the warranty, especially living up north. It really depends on what you're willing to pay though.

I put HKS on my 91 Turbo.

I wouldn't say exactly 'restoring' it; right now 'fighting fires' is a more adequate description!

But I do want it to pass inspection! 1/2 hour?!?! Damn! Where are you?

Florida. I do a lot of business with one dealer here so I get a "preferred" price and bill time. Besides, it merely takes 10 mins to put it once on a lift right?

Oh, boy, I dunno! It's all one piece, and it looks like a Plumber's Nightmare!

But, there is a guy at the local dealer I call "Supraman". I think he's had 5 of the things. I bet he could do it in less than 15 mins!

I may have my car exhaust confused.
