Interesting. How much did the plastidip cost you for the wheels?

Also investing in a downpipe would be a lot more worthwhile than a catback.

it was 125 for 2 wheels, it was kinda experimental at first but it really grew on me!

what difference would the downpipe make in comparison to a cat-back?

love the blue wheels!

For starters a downpipe would actually increase performance and response. If you want more noise from your cat back you could just do a muffler delete, or perhaps consider new cat back after you have a downpipe and a tune so you're not just making pointless noise.

oh awesome, i'll definitely have a look at the downpipe option in that case. haha yeah i would like to do a muffler delete but i think the cops would be on me permanently
