Does anyone know if any of these exhaust produce more power than the others or are they all pretty much the same and differ only in weight and looks?
And is our stock exhaust pretty restrictive, is it worth the upgrade if you don't care about sound?

Import tuner gained 14.3hp and lost 1.5lbs of torque using a Apexi-N1 cat back on a nonturbo Supra. I would think our gains would be simmilar if not higher since the dual pipes in the SC3 don't flow as well as the stock Supra's single pipe. Since the design of most of the exhausts are very simmilar I think the choice is really between looks, sound and maybe weight savings.

i have the JIC single exhaust it is pretty loud but it sounds just like the desciption of the HKS single its very low at idle and low rpms but loud and can scream at high rpms i love the exhaust and the way it sounds, the only thing i don't like about it is that it is a slip on exhaust and where mine slips on i have a little but of an exhaust leak there and that makes it a bit louder but when i fix it it just really sounds great.

i heard import tuner tends to lie about their dyno numbers sometime.. so iono..

does anybody know what type of system flows better a single or dual? or does it depend on the piping?

Definately the single in a SC300 single the engine has only one head, it's pointless to split it into two streams. Dual if you have a SC400
