Pacesetters do not have the best reputation. I'd steer clear.
Mindtrain makes a good affordable setup, and of couse the refrence standard is Racing Beat. Top of the line is SDJ.

KickyRide sells the Mindtrain stuff.

It has the added avantage of bolting straight up to your stock exhaust.




Racing Beat is considered the best value, as it's good performer and not TOO expensive. www.racingbeat.com
Be awae the RB setup does NOT bolt straight up to the stock exhasut system. You'll need to get your local muffler shop to make a short connecting pipe for you.


SDJ is generally considered the best but is expensive. They are custom built for each order. Their website seems to be down, but they're sold over e-bay instead.

Welcome!

The same applies to all N/A RX's

If you got the cash, the SDJ is the way to go.

If you're looking to drop a header on your stock exhasut, grab a MindTrain.

If you want an affordable, quality complete ehxaust, go with the Racing Beat...

Hey Banzaitoyota, do you have the pipe that connects the header I've pictured above to the stock cat back location for sale?

I got my header from Stan and he didn't give me one even thou I have asked for it. And with his current conditions, I am having a hard time contacting him.

Thanks.
