Not lot of people running TRD cause of the price tag, we've only sold their aero but none of their exhausts yet.

As an owner of both the MKV and MKIV Supra I have learned that nothing is really TRD. It's just some other brand that created it and they decided to stamp TRD on it, the only worthwhile TRD products I have purchased is a Diffrential. Nothing else...

Right on Que:
Don't ever get me wrong I love Toyota and TRD, but these things are become instinct and it's turning into a situation where I'm clearly just showing my age. But it's just a frustrating thing when you love the brand and their products when you're 15 years old and broke, and by the time you hit 35 and you have cash in hand things are just not the same as they once were... It's good to know that I'm not the only one that feels this way as Albon who appears to be roughly the same age as me has the exact same sentiments.

That was a very informative video.
it really does seem like TRD name is just being held on to for old times sake. I’m even confused if this is a TRD exhaust or GR sports exhaust. It seems to be marketed both ways.
Im not usually one to spend money on stuff like this, but the only reason I’m even considering this overpriced exhaust is to keep the car OEM+ modified. It hurts my pocket so bad already because I’ve already bought the aero kit and rims ??
I am between getting this or just keeping my stock exhaust as it sounds pretty good already. Maybe just swap the down pipe, keep the stock one in the garage and call it a day

I'm interested in the price of a TRD one as well. I've been looking at HKS' exhaust for some time but $3k....

It wouldn't surprise me if the TRD exhaust was more than the HKS.

I sent you an email that included pics of the LFA and LFA parts in the coffee shop which I don't know if you got to see or noticed that in person. I laughed because to the ordinary individual in that place they wouldn't think anything of car parts in a coffee shop but LFA parts in a Coffee shop, that's like Crazy! lol...
Anyways I hope to be able to purchase an LFA soon I've been saving and looking for the right one and right deal. One Day, One Day...

Subject line was: Gazoo racing
And I sent it to [email protected] and I sent it on Monday at 7:01 AM PST (I Live in Newport but I'm visiting my folks and brother in Ohio) Can't wait to get back to my Supra's and sunny weather.
PS one of the pics has a photo of my Dad in them, don't mind that one and just admire the glory of the parts behind him.
