Valenti 4th brake light. Had to open it up and move some wires around so the brake triangle is not tied to the running light. Dumb.

To my knowledge the rank was n1 n2 r400 q300.
Just today I checked some videos for n2. I don’t want something loud but a little more than the stock. Do you consider anything whiter than the n2 such as the r400 or any other brand. Any experiences with the others ?

Thanks

i have the N1, lmk if you want to hear it in person. oem header and front pipe. idk who said the N1 is too aggressive, but if you keep the rest stock, theres not much a catback can do to make your car over the top loud.

You should definitely hardwire it in. It's super simple, ground it to the bolt that's behind your hood release latch, and pop the fuse tap into the fuse box right above it. ft86speedfactory has a video if you want a visual. So much cleaner than taking up the lighter.

That was the initial plan. The module has the - (ground) and + (fuse tap with 10A fuse includes- not sure which fuse to use, maybe the p/pin1 or 2 which are the cigarette lighters). But in addition to those two wires there is also an auxiliary wire which is for custom color door opening.
I tried to wire it to the door light trigger but it did not light up when opening the door. I was little scared to short the system so I decided not to wire it. What I want is that the auxiliary wiring gets activated like the dome light when you get closer to the car with the key fob.

The footwell illumination with the cigarette lighter turns on only when the engine is on. Ideally the whole system should be activated with the dome light and change the custom color when the door is opened.

Will definitely search and finalize a hardwire.

Thanks

I'm very particular about loud exhausts. I had a Q300 and over the course of a year it became too loud. So put on the HKS Legamax Sport and it was very quiet. So I'm not a good reference
