I have planned on doing some headers some time. If I do anything it will be S and S Headers. I did get a price at the local exhaust shop and he said he can get me the Magnaflows for 125 each and build me a 10 inch X pipe for 50 and install everything for 100, plus the cost of putting straight pipes where the front 2 converters are. I thought that was a good price. Any opinions?

Should I keep the resonators? Thats my biggest problem. Any up to date video clips anywhere? With or without them? Anywhere?

I believe around 600 or so. I will have to double check that pricing.

Car looks clean, really needs a drop though! I don't mind the wheels but I've always liked chrome and those are a pretty clean design. If you're going for a little more luxury look I think you're on the right track.

I appreciate all the comments guys. The guys at work saw it today for the first time and all said the same thing.... They dont like the chrome... Too Blingy.... I guess maybe I should have looked somemore before I bought these. Oh well... I like them. How much drop should I go? I dont like the real tight look of when you do the rear of the car. I like the way my BMW looks on chrome. It looks good. I agree the front needs a drop, but how much? I want a little gap in there. Please Help?

real clean man i think your paint is nicer than my 92 ALso nice progress so fare, have you ever ownd a lexus before? Because you seam to be well informed and thanks for the fog light write up o was kinda stuck on the relay part... And if your looking for a lower stance I say go with Espiler ASD springs or a bilstein/eibach supra spec set up.. GL

Thanks YeA 2jZ, I have never owned a Lexus before.. This is my first and hopefully wont be the last. I do alot of research on the internet and I always try to help out on the forums for problems. I appreciate all the write ups that people do and the time they take out to help others as well. My paint is original except for the passenger door and the right rear quarter panel. Its been painted, from the previous owner. He said someone back into him. Lexus did paint it and I think they did a good job. Cant even tell unless within an inch or 2 from it. I have all the receipts from every PIECE of work that everyone has done on this car, including the window sticker. When I am at the station after hours or at home I stay informed about the SC's. Lastly, thanks for the advice on the type springs to go with it.
