I looked thru the Sc exhaust thread and i have a question. I plan on going turbo later down the line but i want to upgrade my exhaust now. Im looking at the Magnaflow mufflers. Now my questions would it be better to go with a 3in inlet 4inch outlet or a 2.25 inlet and 4 outlet. Im going to have the piping custom made. but idk if i should make the piping 3in or 2.25.

so i ended up ordering Magnaflow mufflers and they should be here sometime next week. Since it was such a nice day out decided to put my wheels on that i had on my IS. Not bad but think i need some spacers to push them out some. Specs are 18x8.5 +40 all around. Wheels are Privat Azents.

The wheels are not a bad way to go at all. Nice upgrade in my book.

Thank you. Figured since they was sitting in my garage collecting dust might as well put them on. Question the car is missing the fog lights so i went to go instal them and nothing comes on. I tried looking for the fuse but wasnt able to find it. I looked on the driver kick panel and for some reason 16-17 isnt there? I looked thru the manual and everything looks the same but 16-17 which i believe is for fog lights and heated seats. Is there another location for the fog light fuse on the 95?

If you are set in having them as fogs, then run a separate relay. Trigger the relay on by the running lights on the backside of either headlight. So when you turn on your parking lights, they come on. That's how I did mine. A little bit of wiring but nothing major. There are plenty of DIY on here for it with pictures and details.
