4" inlet, no problem because the car is factory distributorless w/ coil packs, but we're going standalone either way so it wouldn't have been an issue....

SP 3" downpipe, ceramic-coated. This is apparently a new style since they've added a flex-section to it....

TT calipers front/rear with TRD SS lines, silver slotted TT-size F+R rotors, and EBC Green Stuff pads. I spent about a week prepping and painting the calipers, there's eight coats of colour and four coats of clear. I did the Supra lettering in Silver to match the car. The front rotors were donated to my project by none other than gadgetSC, big up.

This is the most comprehensive project that I have seen on a lexus to date. Lex, your car is truly going to be awesome. You make me proud to be an SC owner!
