American nutters - noise pollution.

[Bonce]

But they sound fcuking stupid! How long before the UK muppets get hold of the idea?

[danhay]

I thought sports exhausts were GOOD!

Though it helps if you have 6 or more cyclinders

Its somewhat unbelieveable that someone would wish to transform the elegant rumble of an internal combustion engine into the sort of squeak emitted by someone squeezing out a reluctant fart.

[deltaf]

Not long id say.
Btw, theres already a similar item for fitment to the intake of your car, its called the Power-rhor.
Makes a growling type noise so im told.
Only question i have , is, WHY?????????

[jimbro1000]

Thankfully we DO have laws regarding noise in the UK! We also have restrictions on noise after the 11pm noise curfew.

I think the kids would soon get pissed off after the council environmental groups come around either confuscating the cars or chopping the offending exhaust parts off.

Why do people fit effin big exhaust tips on their car to start with - the sole purpose is to act like a trumpet and amplify the sound of the exhaust?

People have been doing it for years because they think it "sounds good" - all it proves is that they know nothing about exhausts...especially when they say it makes the car more powerful

I think the standard of intelligence of these muffler fans is aptly demonstrated by the following quote:

"The whistles go whoo whoo,” says whistle fan Bubb Rubb."

Bubb Rubb ... Jeeez

[elanturbo]

I bet you could stick a whoopee cushion onto the end of your exhaust but just cos you can, doesnt mean you should.

[M@H]

I reckon if you shut your nuts in your car door there'd be quite a noise... but again.. I just don't fancy it...

Loved the line about the tosser spinning his car across the yellow lines and 'nearly missing a row of parked cars'. So that means he hit them then?

Anybody want to place bets on which UK shopping trolley bible will be the first to run a 'how to fit a whistle tip' feature?

I have 2-1 on Lax Power, 3-2 on Fart Car, 3-1 on Shedline and 5-1 on Kevs.

"In a demonstration on one Oakland side street, they spun their sporty, modified car out of control as they jammed the gas, careening across double-yellow lines and nearly missing a row of parked cars."

Does that mean they actually plowed into said row of cars? Here's hoping.

Edited to say:

Beaten to it! Damn!

I guess they did .. . or is that just bad use of double negatiives ?

[gary_tholl]

Did you guys actually watch the video on the link?

It's too funny... Although, the whistlers they showed weren't that loud IMO, although they do sound like absolute shit.

Bubb Rubb and his sister are something else...
And no, they don't hit the cars, but they do drive like twats.

The video link is on the page at the top, or if your too lazy too look, then the link to the video is...

The video is 3.7MB and the bits the "Bubb Rubb" talking are highly amusing, his driving however is not....
(and I couldn't hear the whistle on his car... still a sh!te idea though....)

Come on. Tools are useful.

My mate got hold of one of these, and it's sitting in the passenger door of my Polo. It sounds stupid in my opinion. Yeah, a bit of a laugh putting it over people's exhausts and watching them wonder what the feck is wrong with their car.. lol - but that's about where the enjoyment ends.

Can't see it taking off here somehow... not in a "cool" way anyhow!

Sounds like someone might try these on your pipes Andy!

Beware the next VW!
