Supras run single exhausts because they have inline 6s. It would be ****ing stupid to run a dual on an inline 6.

Why would it be stupid? I def know not optimal especially with most Supras converted to single turbo. I know on a lot of other straight 6 platforms aftermarket headers are 2x 3 into 1.

I don't quite understand what you mean, but are you saying a lot of other inline 6s run single exhausts? If that's what you meant, then I agree.

You should go do more research Touge! The Z has a single exhaust with a dual tipped muffler out of the factory. I'm sure a 3" exhaust pipe is more than enough air flow. Plus everyone knows they're more sexy. Singles ♡

Exactly, I'm not debating that. I know the z doesn't have a true dual.

But is it just for looks or is it a true dual?

Wanted leathers and needed some cash. They were Megan racing rails. Leather is a lot more comfortable.. also my girlfriend practically begged me to get them so she could have her heated seats. Lol.

Good call on the leather seats! Wiring the power in isn't too bad, definitely not $350 worth. Not sure about the heated pads though
