I love this small print...

- Please remember that this is a add-on item and will NOT give your car any bhp.

- This item will sounds similar to Turbo engine and racing muffler. But please don't compare these item with a Full Racing Muffler System!!

If I remember right, that is EXACTLY how it works. Clips onto the end of your exhaust and its supposed to imitate the turbo spooling up. The harder you push the engine, the more exhaust you get, the faster the "whistler" spins and the higher the pitch of it.

the ultra fine print most of you missed:

* please note this item will not make you or your car cool
* it may cause your dick to feel smaller when pulling up alongside a real car
* you will lose all credibility amongst people that go the extra mile and get a real turbo
* even grandmas in civics will laugh at you and try and ram you of the road.

Its the grown up version of pegging a playing card to your bike and having it flap on the spokes. Difference is, the playing card idea is acceptable when your 6 y/o.

lol back when I was young, dumb and 17 we fitted a similar item to my mates Corolla, then went on holdiays up the coast. Halfway up the car lost all power and came to a stop. On popping the hood, many of the assorted engine hoses had popped off - I came to the conclusion that the thing caused so much backpressure that this was the result...

Might get one for the Peugeot. Oh, wait. That has a turbo already...

What about the EL? Nope, got a sports exhaust on that already.

That only leaves the XE, but that is sitting in a shed with a car cover over it and the battery disconnected.

Guess I'll have to pass then... :togo:

This is one of the best vids I've seen for a while

Anyone fancy flying up with aeroplanes with a jet strapped to your back?

That'd be a blast. I remember a similar idea where a guy in a birdman suit jumped out of a hotair balloon with jet's strapped to his boots. IIRC he could achieve 5k's of flight and used his body for all direction control. It was as close to flying as I have ever seen. Watching him follow a hwy was just amazing.
