Ebay Turbo Sound

There's a gismo that you can buy on Ebay for like 20 bucks to make your car sound like a turbo But in all seriousness, would it give you less HP since the gismo is blocking the exhaust flow???

heres the link

Just think, both turboed and supercharged (well somewhat of a sound of a turbo)

Thumbs up

first of all no it does not make your car loose hp second of all it is a god damn whistle! my friend bought one for his 2.0 jetta so he could imitate a 1.8t. sounded like it sometimes but when you got closer it sound like the turbo was spooling at its max! dont get me wrong it did sound good just a lil over exaagerate for a jetta! lol mabe a supra but def not a jetta

"It cannot be easily distinguished between an accelerating turbocharged car! You will not be able to tell the difference nor will pedestrians or other drivers on the street."

Until the real thing wants a race and you slam on the gas only to have the other car waste you.

Although I could see how this could be fun to use as a prank

i put one of those on my friends '03 eclipse gts without him knowing. he drove it for like 3 days wondering were the noise came from and finally took it to the dealer and that's when they showed it to him. it was hilarious. sounds like a whistle. makes an annoying whistling sound.

Good lord, this takes me back. I think Bubb Rubb invented it.

(for youse newbs in general) Bubb Rubb was shown in a news video in LA about 2-3 years ago, and created quite a sensation on message boards for a few months.

Check the original video on the left.

(oh and only someone of his mental level would buy one of those ebay auction items)

He was really trying to race? Did you actually see the thing before or after the race?
