Ok well thanks to Aaron from http://www.rabidchimp.com I now have a sweet sounding exhaust. It's rear Y pipe back and doesn't drone or anything just makes it sound like a V8 for once. This gets rid of 6 bends and the 2 rear resonators. My SC has a center resonator instead of a cat like some of the other SC's but I'm sure he'll be offering a center cat version as well. I can now get the back end to step out when I want it to and spin the tires from a stand still which I couldn't before. It's all mandrel bent 2.5" Pipe back to 2 Magnaflow mufflers. Here's the only pics I have and they are from my cell but enjoy anyways.

Just a couple projects right now...

Recently added a sub and amp to my car.
JL Audio 500/1 Amp and a 10" Alpine Type-R


Bought some IS300 rims a few weeks ago, pretty good condition. Missing one center cap.




Just picked up some IS lugs and a center cap.




Spacers coming soon!
Hoping to get tires and have them mounted within the next week or so.

Thats what I paid for mines, when my plug melted. The reason was because I used a bulb that used 13volts, instead of 12volts. Nokya I believe uses 13volts, so you can get a resistor that will eliminate the fuse blowing. At least its your fuses and not melting your plug.

I wouldnt waste anymore money on fuses. Just get rid of the bulbs that are blowing your fuses. What bulbs are you gonna be getting in the mail? Get a resistor, if this set doesnt work and blows fuses.
