My last Facebook post indicated that SV3Power was not taking any orders for a little while.
After much deliberation, and for a variety of reasons, I have decided to officially close SV3Power Products. I plan to continue building parts until existing inventory is used up, and I will post here as those parts become available. The website will remain online for a time to act as a reference. However, I do not plan to take any new orders.
Thanks to all SV3Power customers for your support over the years!
The old front page :
SV3Power builds exhaust systems for the first-generation Toyota MR2. Everything we offer is designed to make your AW11 sound and perform its best, while being as easy to install as an OEM part.
Our online presence is roughly divided into three sections:
Here at SV3Power.com: The blog has how-to guides, new product introductions, and articles on old and new projects. If we have something to share that isn’t strictly a product to sell, it will probably be here. You can also visit the new Virtual Order Advisor to work out which parts will work best with your engine.
At SV3Power.com/store/: Our web store features parts like catalytic converters and test pipes, cat-back mufflers, headers, and downpipes, as well as lots of top-quality flanges and hardware for people who want to build from scratch. Each product is thoroughly detailed on its own page.
On Facebook: follow SV3Power to make sure you are notified when something new is posted.
Thanks for stopping by!

January 11, 2017 at 9:28 PMPlease advise when and if you will resume production. I am looking for a quality mk1 header setup and your appears to be at the top. I am looking for this to compete in the 2018 SCCA racing season so I have some time.

January 14, 2017 at 10:44 AMHi Jeff,
Thanks for the inquiry. I am not currently taking orders. My plan is to build enough parts to use up the components remaining on hand. I do not plan to take orders for anything. Instead, everything will be offered for sale as it becomes available.
Right now, I am concentrating on other projects and have no idea what I will be able to build or when it will be available. The best thing to do is follow SV3Power on Facebook so that you will be made aware when I post parts for sale.

December 15, 2016 at 6:05 AMSorry to hear you are closing. Best of luck with whatever your future holds! Your products were first rate ….
SV3Power
January 14, 2017 at 10:44 AMThanks, Jeff. It’s all just a matter of time, energy, and priorities.

December 3, 2016 at 11:42 AMHello was wondering if you have a cat back exhaust for a 1989 mk1 sc avaiable. Thank you
SV3Power
December 10, 2016 at 12:33 PMSorry, but I do not have any right now. The business is closed at this time and not accepting new orders.

November 10, 2016 at 1:52 PMI need a stock replacement down pipe for an 89 MKI with stock 16v manifold and cat. What do you have to replace this section?
SV3Power
November 12, 2016 at 9:51 AMHi Jim,
At this time I don’t have a replacement for the 16V downpipe. I may resume developing that part if/when I reopen the store. Right now I am not sure whether that will happen.

October 25, 2016 at 11:09 AMHi!
Looking to get a muffler exhaust for my 87 NA, what is the main difference between the NA type and SC type exhaust? Also, I saw that it was out of stock for both, do you know when you will have them available again?
Thank you
SV3Power
October 29, 2016 at 11:38 AMThanks for the inquiry. The NA muffler fits NA catalytic converters, and the SC muffler fits SC catalytic converters. You’ll be better off with the NA muffler on your car.
The store is not currently accepting any new orders, and I’m not sure when we will start taking orders again. Right now I’m working on catching up with orders that have already been placed and trying to work on my own stuff for a change.

July 4, 2016 at 1:58 PMI am considering getting headers and a downpipe for my supercharged MR2. Got the exhaust and cat and figured why not. Do I need to coat them ? I am going to ceramic coat the muffler and pipes as per your recommendation.
SV3Power
July 4, 2016 at 2:52 PMYou can coat them for cosmetic appeal, but it is not required. The flanges are mild steel, so they will develop surface rust if not protected, but that does not affect durability and longevity.
Although heat is not a big problem as many people incorrectly assume, the correct ceramic coating will also result in lower temperatures. Speaking of temperatures, I absolutely DO NOT recommend wrapping any of my products with high temp exhaust wraps. The minor benefits are more than offset by much higher chances of warpage and increase the chance of cracks and other damage.

June 28, 2016 at 3:25 PMWhat’s the story behind the name SV3Power?
SV3Power
July 2, 2016 at 10:43 AM“Toyota made its SV-3 concept car public in the autumn of 1983 at the Tokyo Motor Show, gathering a huge amount of publicity both from the press and the audience. The car, scheduled to be launched in spring 1984 in the Japanese market under the name MR2 was to become the first mass-produced mid-engined car to come from a Japanese manufacturer.”

June 28, 2016 at 3:23 PMGot my exhaust and cat today and the welds look great! Can’t wait to install them and hear how they sound…
SV3Power
July 2, 2016 at 10:40 AMThanks! I think you’ll be happy with the sound. Everybody really seems to like it.
Jeffrey
May 14, 2016 at 6:47 AMDo you make headers for the SC?
SV3Power
May 15, 2016 at 9:49 AMYes! Clock the SHOP tag above to get to the store, then take a look at the Headers category. You’ll also need a downpipe to go with it. They are listed in the Downpipes category.
Jeffrey Vomacka
January 22, 2016 at 2:32 PMI am getting ready to finish my restoration and was wondering how long from when I order my SC exhaust system I could expect to receive it?
SV3Power
January 25, 2016 at 11:54 PMThanks for the inquiry! At this time I have quite a few orders on the docket, so I will need the two to three weeks mentioned in the online catalog to get through them. Shipping from the west coast to Florida means about a week in transit after the product is built and shipped out.
Jeffrey Vomacka
December 14, 2015 at 3:21 PMWhen do you expect to have more exhaust gaskets? I want to purchase one of your systems but need the gaskets.
SV3Power
December 14, 2015 at 4:26 PMThe cats and exhaust systems come with gaskets. You don’t have to purchase them separately.
The ceramic cat is a budget choice. The metallic ones are more robust and last longer without breaking down. The California version is the best at actually reducing emissions and will be effective for the longest time, more like an OEM cat.

December 4, 2014 at 1:14 PMI need one phone number i have a question?
SV3Power
December 6, 2014 at 12:52 PMI’m sorry, but I can’t take phone calls. Please take a look at the FAQ, theVirtual Order Advisor, and the product descriptions in the store. If your questions aren’t answered there, please let me know what you’re looking for, and I’ll do my best to help.

August 9, 2014 at 3:25 AMhi, when will the SC cat-back exhaust be available for sale? can you give a guesstimate to when can you start building?
SV3Power
August 10, 2014 at 1:28 PMI’ve just put a couple more in stock at the store. If you place the order now, I can have one built for you within a couple of weeks.

July 9, 2014 at 4:37 PMHello,
Are there any updates on the naturally aspirated muffler? I’m located in Maryland and can help out with testing if needed. I have a stock 1988 model with 64,000 miles and in good condition.
Keep up the good work!
SV3Power
July 22, 2014 at 7:47 AMI’m going to start building as soon as I can get existing orders filled!
BK
November 10, 2013 at 9:34 AMHow much more power will your header provide on a N/A 4 age mine has a ported head / cams / cams degreed /modded ecu / lighted flywheel / I currently have a high flow cat and small glass pack muffler. Can you provide me with a total outright price for the header and downpipe. 85 MR 2
Thanks BK
SV3Power
November 10, 2013 at 11:22 AMI haven’t yet had access to a stock MR2 and an opportunity perform testing at the same time, so I can’t quote a power figure. My plan this month is to meet up with another local AW11 owner for a test-and-tune day where we can try out the header and a few other parts on his car. When we get that done I’ll post the results.
Prices on most of my parts will vary depending on the options you want. Try the Virtual Order Advisor (listed in the FAQ category, or click https://www.sv3power.com/?page_id=619) to determine which basic parts you need. Then visit the SV3Power store to see the price on those parts and their options. Select the options you want on each part and put the parts in your shopping cart to get your total. Use the shipping calculator to figure shipping costs.

October 22, 2013 at 12:00 PMCould you tell me how much do you sell for the 20V silver top AE101 O2 sensor?
SV3Power
October 22, 2013 at 10:07 PMThanks for the inquiry, but I do not sell oxygen sensors. You might try http://www.TwosRUs.com instead. Good luck!

August 9, 2013 at 3:16 PMI have a question. I’m not mechanical, so bear with me… when I got my second 1988 supercharged MR2, I felt like it was louder than my original (bought in 1988) and it didn’t seem to have the get up and go of the original. I have it in the shop now to work on the suspension (creaking from years of sitting). I also asked that they check out the exhaust as it was REALLY loud. Evidently, I have lost my muffler somewhere along the road (It was there when I bought it). I have purchased your cat back system. By doing this, can I expect an increase in engine performance. Toyota told me that the engine and supercharger were working fine, but it just doesnt seem to be the same as my original.
The car has less than 30,000 miles on it. Handles great.
SV3Power
August 10, 2013 at 10:44 AMThank you for the order! I can’t say for sure how different my exhaust system will be on a car that had a rusted or missing muffler, but it will certainly be an improvement. You will probably also notice that you can accelerate when you need to without having to tiptoe around all that exhaust noise. The car may not be faster, but you’ll be able to drive it faster without creating a racket.

May 29, 2013 at 12:14 PMHi,
Looking for a replacement muffler for a 1988 MR2 SC with a test pipe in place of cat. Do you have any in stock and if not what is the lead time. Would be shipped to zip code 21044. Thanks
SV3Power
June 8, 2013 at 12:58 PMI try to maintain stock of mufflers and other components. Assuming all the ingredients are on hand, build time is generally within the same two to three week range of my other products.
