My '94 baby
I've had my SC since May and I'm beyond in love with this car. She was pretty dirty when I bought her but in overall excellent condition. Just took a lot of cleaning, especially the interior to get her looking pretty again. 166k miles currently on it. Main mechanical issues were a new power steering rack I knew was needed when I got it and rusted freeze plugs in the engine casing that began spewing coolant b/c the thermostat stopped working (all fixed). Only major thing is to eventually have the driver side rear quarter panel repainted (wasn't done properly after a fender bender apparently)
So far she has new wheels, M2 mufflers
<<youtube link for sound, strut bar, and a few cosmetic and interior upgrades (new leather armrest and steering wheel cover, chrome trim inside and out, gold painted calipers).
Eventually will do a BFI and would like the '97 oem side skirts and rear lip. Any suggestions on anything else are welcome.

Absolutely love em. Inexpensive and bolted right on, slight challenge getting the stock mufflers out of the rubber hanger but no big deal. They add just the right amount of volume to hear more of that beautiful engine, comparable to a stock G35/37 exhaust volume, and they fit the overall look of the SC very well. I like the tapered exit that shrinks the diameter as opposed to the Megan mufflers and others that are a thin full 4" outlet.
I removed the resonator on my last car ('03 Acura TL) and after a while the drone was too much. Just changing the mufflers adds the right amount of sound to enjoy but still keep the SC classy the way it should be. At times I wish it was louder but until I have the time to get a true dual exhaust setup going this works very well.
I thought about just cutting the mufflers off and having pipes welded to the end but with no mufflers it wasn't as clean sounding, had a raspiness with each rev that the mufflers cleaned up and volume is practically the same.
