Rice Sound Effects

This might be the ultimate in ricer technology. A box that makes a 4 banger Honda sound like a GTO or any other muscle car (via speakers).

That's truely pathetic. I'm trying to raise my sons much better than that. It would just break my heart if they ever came home with one of those. I'm from the old school, where fast primer was way cooler than slow and shiny. They know the phrase "all show and no go" very well.

The good thing is, this just might be rock bottom - where the only way is up.

You couldnt fit them in any of those ricer cars anyway because their trunk's or hatchs are already filled up with subs, I dont see how a bunch of bass riding up and down the road is "cool".

We have some 300 HP Japanese 4-bangers around here that might be shiny but not slow.

That's cool. I gotta get me one for my 460 F250 and put it on Vespa mode. That plus the Turbo exhaust whictle in my tail pil should do the trick and shake those pseky ricers off.

Whoooo Hooo, this is way better than the old 1960s and 70s record or cassette tapes with engine noises.
