Not bad at all

Salary has come ^_^
So I went fast and I bought 3'' Stainless pipe in order to make the exhaust system ( Aluminum is simply unaffordable )
Its 20 feet long for 150 USD ( I couldnt find shorter pipe )
Here when it comes

Hopefully it will be done tommorow
I have to ask, again only thinking of your safety, did you put extra steel or anything on the top side of those bolts holding the rear of the transmission to the unibody? That sheet metal is awfully thin.
I was just thinking the same thing.....

the bends in the exhaust look sketchy
all that great work to be ruined by the exhaust. it looks as if it were bent against a table.
that exhaust will rob you of power
Your transfer case mount scares me all the way over here in the US =)
It needs some kind of reinforcement man. Looks good otherwise.
Just found ready made 3'' exhaust pipe for Galant VR-4
Im gonna use the last part of it tommorow
Im sorry but there is a reason why Mitsubishi gave us the 4g series engines..... 2jz= bad ass in a SUPRA. I really commend you for your hard work and effort. However, I see very bad end results on this one. Simply put, the short amount of time this was done in REALLY shows. I dont sacrifice quality and safety over a timeline. Congrats on being the first to do it though.
I think this is a awesome ass build. Kudos to you for getting it done. However, these fellas bring up a point not to be taken lightly, quality fab work takes time. I'd rather have used some angle iron than cut the Supra trans support and welded in extensions, that reeks of ratchetness. While that exhaust isn't gonna be the final one, the fact that it even got installed in that condition and manner suggest a rushed job, and that's dangerous. I hope it all pans out, because this is otherwise one awesome build.
I think he's just trying to put things together for the moment being
next time you do exhaust bends, fill the pipes with sand and close off the ends. ducktape works for sealing both ends to achieve mandrel looking like bends. either way excellent job
Wow that was fast man, but like everyone else is saying...just make sure you have extra support on the T-case, and also does that engine start at all or didnt try yet? Also I would please please pleaaaase double, or even triple check your work bc this is an awesome project you have going on and last thing you want is fix damaged parts on this hard work you put into, annnd one more thing what did you use to bend the exhaust piping? othan than that, amazing job man. i can not wait to see this started...I do not think any one had the balls to do this.
NVM bro I just saw your video of the car moving...holy shit amazing job and damn that was fast.
I think the particular bend some are un happy with was to clear the differential. I have seen that from factory on a late model GTO.
