Whistle tips?
I'm at the Wal-mart parking lot and I see a pristine F-150 looks like a 76 maybe, totally cherry, someone has put a lot of restoration work into. So the owner comes out and I complement him and we talk for a minute and I go away feelign all warm and fuzzy...but then...
he starts up the truck and starts to drive off and there is this HORRIBLE noise, This loud whistling noise that just gets louder as he drives off.
So we ask around and it turns out this is called a whistle tip, and people are putting these little whistle things in their tailpipe to whiste.
I am totally floored by this, what kind of dipwad does a beautiful restoration job on an old truck like this, then proceeds to pull a stupid ghetto trick like putting on a whistle tip? I am astonished... I wanted to chase the guy down and say "I take back all the good stuff I said about you!"
Man... CRAZY... I can't get over it...

The only whistle that will come from my cars/trucks is either the Garrett or Holset sitting on the manifold(s) or me whistling at the hottie walking up the street...No tips, no noise makers, nothing fake...

They are meant to be annoying, just like other 'bling' on cars from the ghetto.
Did you see that idiot at the end of the video almost hit parked cars on the wrong side of the street, then run a stop sign? Moron! Must be strung out on crack or meth.
