SC300 midpipe question
#1
![Default](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hey guys, might be a bit of noob questions here and there but please dont tell me to search, because i have searched and i'm merely just making sure of a few things ive found out from searching.
So, my midpipe has a crack or two and is getting annoying. I wanna fix it, but no shop around here would make me a catless one. So im looking at ordering an OBX midpipe (keep in mind im on a college students budget) but not anything else in the exhaust system yet.
Now question is, would having that O2 sensor unplugged throw a code? ive searched and found that its a no if its obd1?
Second question is would it bolt up to stock flanges of y pipe? https://935motorsports.com/catalog/p...f02fc5eff9fe4f i believe its a 3in midpipe but im not sure and i cant call them. It says it will fit to stock headers but will it fit to stock y pipe? thanks guys for any help
car is a 1994 sc300

You are OBD1, and yes you will throw a code with your rear O2 sensor unplugged.
Is the rest of your exhaust 3" if not, then there's no purpose in putting in a 3" section in stock piping.

I dont even think odb1 has an o2 sensor on the midpipe.

I really dont remember seeing one so you may wanna stick your head under there and take a look it may save you some time. maybe if its from california it may have one.
odb2 uses a post cat o2 sensor and your car is odb1.
3" midpipe for a single turbo supra or sc300 will bolt right up.
toyota uses a generic 2 bolt flange that is huge, so it will bolt up to the stock headers and catback.
note a downpipe/midpipe for a supra twin turbo will not bolt right up, the flange sits up higher in the bay.

No, the car is 100% stock... but im not even sure if its 3in, thats why i asked, plus im mainly doing it as a replacement that i can use down the road when i do upgrade the rest of the system, as well as a cat delete..

It IS possible it has rear O2 sensor. California emissions required 4wire O2 sensors front and rear even for OBD1 cars. I personally have a 93.5 NA MKIV supra that originated from california and it has 3 4wire O2 sensors, 2 up front on each exhaust manifold bank and one in the rear cat. So depending on the states emissions requirements where the car was sold you may have a rear O2
if you replace it and find out there is one there is a solution to keep the code from popping up: https://www.speedforsale.com/suprapa...coltb1jj204ds4

yeah i know a shop can put a bung in, might end up doing that.. but i dont see where a 2.5 catless midpipe is more readily available 88supramki..
just checked, my car has a sensor.
Would this fit on my car? http://store.driftmotion.com/static/i-3103-rt006.php
I know ali said not supra twin turbo but im not sure. This will conclude the thread. Thanks
