Mine is definitely the trend of doing “catless downpipes” and “resonator deletes” making your exhaust super raspy as a means of gaining more volume rather than doing a proper exhaust setup. Especially since high flow cats these days will flow more hp than most are making.
I have original hella black tail lights and you can see the colours as good as if there were normal. I don’t think smoked headlights would be as good as the ones I have.
