another idea for supercharged v6... Would a twin system be to loud with twin 2.5"cat back system and instead of regular mufflers in the middle 2 hotdogs and a resi at the rear? Would that still be to loud? Or any idea if it would sound any good if anyone has done or heard it done?

a bit of PVC pipe would work just as good or even just a bit of intercooler pipe with some rubber hose ends and just paint it

Does anyone have a guide or anything on how to change the LEDs ive just pulled it apart so i might as well change the LEDs to see what i can get maybe blue would look good... any idea how??
