If you get it figured out, you should consider making and selling them on Etsy or somewhere. I can imagine that down the road I will tire of the OEM knob and want to go custom, at which point I'll want a custom shift boot as well. I'd just as soon not ruin an OEM knob/boot to cannibalize the...

Somebody finally gets me. I feel like if you haven't driven a Mustang with active exhaust, it's going to be hard to understand. It's basically a mute button for the exhaust. The OEM active exhaust setup on the Supra is a bad joke in comparison to what Ford is doing. Awesome, good to hear...

It's all one piece, so I would imagine you'll be waiting on the aftermarket for the retaining ring on the bezel.

So I'm thinking where you're at is similar to where I would be with the OEM downpipe. Do you feel like there's a much more substantial difference between normal and sport mode with the valve now, compared to the factory exhaust? I had seen that video in my searches and it sounds great, and...

Did you keep their middle resonator or replace it with a straight pipe? And what downpipe do you have?

aFe reached out to me and confirmed fitment: I asked for clarification that all Takeda SKUs will fit the manual and they did confirm:

Thickening the plot a bit, I reached out to Borla with the compatibility question and they replied with this: I asked for further clarification on whether this was for all 2023s, or just 2023 manual cars, and asking if they had any plans of doing different tip styles, and they came back with...

Google it and you'll find a bunch of dealership parts sites that list it anywhere from MSRP ($195.24) to somewhere in the $130's.

Getting this thread back on track, the part number for the non-alcantara shift knob and boot is 33504-WAA02 - at least according to my local Toyota dealership. It's on backorder. I placed a backorder, we'll see how long it takes.

My intent is to keep the downpipe stock, I would expect it to be a good bit quieter. It's tough finding reviews or videos from people who have a stock downpipe though!

Magnaflow has responded to me indicating that their exhaust should fit the 2023 manual transmission cars.

I was speaking only to the exhaust note since Obsidian was talking about the active exhaust on his Mustang GT.

It's not similar at all, there's basically zero difference between sport mode and regular mode on the Supra in contrast to what you get with a Mustang. I'm frankly not even sure why they bothered with a valve on the factory Supra exhaust.

If it's going to be your only car and you commute with it daily, get the Supra for sure. The GT350 is awesome, but it was my second car and stayed in the garage most days. Honestly a GT is much better suited to your situation and you already have that, so if you're looking for something...

You'll hear those stories, and you'll also hear stories like mine: 10k miles on the car, beat on it plenty (after being properly warmed of course) and several hours of track time, but it just purrs along. I did a Blackstone used oil analysis every time I changed the oil and the wear metals in...

About like you'd expect. The GT350 (even the non-R) is pretty raw. 295's on the front and a track-oriented alignment (0.1° toe OUT in the front) means that you have to be focused when driving at all times, because a subtle groove or undulation in the road will yank the steering wheel right out...

Here’s something that may be worth considering… a lot of the reviews that say “no drone” were done with automatics. The extra gears mean lower revs on the freeway. Here’s a shot of the revs the manual is turning in 6th gear at interstate speeds: So part of question might become: what exhausts...

It's weird because aFe has specifically called out the manual as being incompatible and Borla says they're actively developing a solution. Maybe there's some weird clearance issue, where the tunnel is slightly different in proportions?

Me too, I don't have clarity in that regard. Perhaps it's as simple as moving an exhaust hanger?

Borla has stated to me over email that their exhaust doesn't fit the 2023. I asked for clarity if they just meant the 2023 MT, or all 2023 Supras. Perhaps some changes were made to support the MT that carried over to 2023 AT production? They do specifically state 2020-2022 on their website...
