How about a single exhaust for JZ-chassis SCs (Soarers) ? 
I've never heard a dual system that I actually thought sounded nice, and the cost is way too much on dual exhaust systems. I'd just as soon get a single exhaust for a MKIV Supra (JZA80) and have it extended to fit (plus custom mounts). Why not save the work? I think there'd be more single SCs out there if there was a system offered that had 3" mandrel bends in SUS304 and a nice muffler and mounted up without any hassle. And even a 4" for the boosted SCs

Yukio, since JIC carries alot of suspension components. Camber kit for the IS would be great.

What I want is a reasonable response to all the complaints that I've heard about JIC and its products. Why do the exhausts have a reputation as falling apart? Why is the customer service department regarded as one of the worst around? And, with all this negative reputation, why does JIC still demand such a high premium above several of the highly reputable Japanese brands? I'm just hoping for a suitable resolution to all the "horror stories" that I've heard.

Answer the Second question: Please tell me specific examples in PM and will see if I can give you an answer.
Answer to the 3rd question: Well you want to know the horrible truth? A lot of the Japanese "manufacturers" outsource their assembly in China or other places than Japan. Thus keeping prices down. JIC Prides oursevles in being assembled, developed, and shipped out of Japan. Ask around about other companies.
If you have any other questions, feel free to PM me. Thanks.

I ask that you remember this when deciding which vehicles to produce aftermarket parts for. Although the newer vehicles are in the spotlight for the simple fact they are in current production, the SC 300/400 shares not only it's following, but the crossovers from the Supra crowd which are highly regarded as the most aggressive tuners in street tuning. For this reason you have the position to tap a highly active, and commonly overlooked market.
Thanks

Yeah,
A lot of good items suggested here....
A CF or Fiberglass front lip for the 97+ SC would be cool....as would a bolt -on mandrel bent single exhaust system for the V8's...
What about harness bars? That would be nice....
how???
