Could be worse.
Years ago JC Whitney sold a tape that you could play in your car to make loud engine reving noises to impress the crowd.
Guess the turbo whistler is just a mechanical version with more "realistic" effects, at least the sound will match the engine speed.
At least the JC W tape wouldn't slow you down. This whistle will slow you down. Only a desperate idiot would use one of these. At least the fart cans won't hurt mcuh.
I like the comment "no one will be able to tell the difference". Wrong, the moped that blows your doors off will notice.
Har har har. What some of the ricers will do for image, even slow down their ride to make it sound faster, jeez.

Don't guys that do really stupid things like this get laughed at by their friends with 'real' mods? Or better yet, get beat up by their girlfriends??
What is going thru their little minds to do something this absolutely ridiculous?

I think the idea is to trick people in to not racing you so that you don't get embarassed. Heck every time I hear some trciked out ricer, I get scared that it'll make me look bad, so I don't dare race them. Especially if they got that big, "High Flow" muffler on. I mean, something with a muffler that big has to be making over 300 HP right.

Seen that on there several times.
I had a friend that paid 550 bucks for a cat back for his honda...
put it on, THEN 2 days later cut the muffler off. I was like WTF dude you just paid 550 for that.
He said so... I got new pipe.
So for 550 bucks he got 3 feet of pipe
Maybe he'll buy 2 of these?
