Default 92 sc300 mod questions

hello there I'm new to the Cl site.I recently bought a 1992 SC 300 automatic transmission. The car is in excellent condition just the front bumper has a crack in it and looking to replace it.when I bought the car it had 110,000 miles now it has 115,000 miles. When I bought the car from a friend it had the timing chain done at 86000 miles.I replace the oil myself.I was wondering if the BFI would work on my SC 300 The car itself drives smooth with no problems. Everything works inside including the sunroof.from what I heard the BFI works better than a cold air intake. Everything on my car is stock and looking to ask what kind of mileage would work best for my SC 300.I seen mini clips of exhaust systems for the SC 300 but due to not having a turbo in stock engine I don't want to lose any power.so I was wondering what exhaust system would work best for my stock SC 300. I read and heard about the axle back dual exhaust works pretty good for the car.just looking to get a good exhaust sound and better gas mileage for my SC 300. Also wanted to know where is a good place to buy a OEM stock front bumper to bumper replacement for my front bumper that's cracked. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Being N/A you won't net large gains with an intake an axle back. Maybe a couple horse but nothing all that noticeable. If you're just going for looks/sound, then yeah just grab whatever axle back that tickles your fancy. For a replacement bumper I'd either hit up the classifieds on here or just look on ebay.

okay thanks a lot. I'm looking to do a 1jz GTE swap in the near future but I want to keep it as automatic transmission as my girlfriend doesn't know how to drive a stick shift.I also want to change the tail lights on the car but I heard that anything from 94 in up won't work on my tail lights due to the fact that I have a 92 SC 300.do anyone know what good sounding muffler towards our system that's cheap so I can put on Sc 300 for now

If I had a 1j I'd not let my gf drive heck I'd not let anyone drive. Go with a manual it's worth it in the end.
Example, my rx7 never had another driver after the swap heck I never had a passenger in it with one test run exception (milk crates lol)

There's tons of axle back setups you can buy online. That's the route I'd go if all you're looking for is looks/sound. Just find one that has the look you like. They're all going to be louder than stock, you can try searching youtube for some examples.

all lights will work if you get the harnesses for them as well. i have 97+ lights on my 92 SC400 and they work. you also have to either install some resistors to stop hyperblinking or do what i did which is to replace all the lights with LEDs in the front and back and solder a resistor into the flasher. PM me if you have any questions and i'll show you everything you need to do and get.
