Want ya NA to sound like a turbo car.

Im sure this has been done before.. but never like this..

so..

"Why spend thousands of dollars on a turbo system if you just want the awesome sound? This machined aluminum exhaust insert sits inside your exhaust pipe"

This whistler is a lot of fun, and if you get tired of it (or install a real turbo), just take it off (or leave it on for double the effect)! At this price...why not?

hes GOT to be taking the piss right there.


and the way the guy wrote his ad makes it out that cars cant come factory with turbos, you have to spend extra thousands to get one installed.

Put a fake boost gauge and one of these in your car if you are going to sell it and tell buyers its turboed and try to get more money out of them. :twisted:

I have heard one of these on a moped man it sounded funny.

What does it actually do? Just create a really loud whistling sound when you drive that actually sounds not at all like a turbo?

yea, the more revs you are doing the louder it goes, One of my friends got one of these, wasnt the greatest but still good for a laugh.
You needed to have a bit of pace for it to make any noticable noise though.
