Click above to watch the Turbo Whistler in action

Have you ever wanted your car to sound turbocharged without having any of the functional benefits? Yeah, neither have we, but apparently someone thought it was a good idea to make such a product. Knowing some of the things people put on their cars, we have no doubt it will find a few buyers too. Named the Turbo Whistler, this aluminum device clamps onto your tailpipe (no welding or drilling necessary!) and emits a sound similar (a term used very loosely in this case) to the whistle of a turbocharger under throttle. The company's web site claims that it will trick all of your friends into thinking your vehicle is benefiting from forced induction. Our guess is that if they don't know the difference, they will also believe you when you tell them your Honda Accord is also a "10-second car." Watch the Turbo Whistler in action in the video after the jump.

I was behind a car with one of these the other day. It was annoying as hell at the light. Upon acceleration I had to roll up my windows it was so piercing. It's way to high pitched to be turbine. I would get a headache after abut 5mins.

brokeAs240sx · 06-02-2009, 03:29 PM

hmmmm, wonder if i could install one of these things to fool ppl into thinking i'm NOT turbo... "it's just the whistler, officer..." doo doo.

BTP · 06-02-2009, 05:28 PM

thats so pointless i could see a honda ricer kid with that on his car.

vashuyasha · 07-26-2009, 10:16 AM

major lame, i wonder if you can make that sound any less like a turbo whine. i think gluing some Nerf-Whistles to the inside of your exhuast and underneath your car would work better than that. (someone please do this)

now that i think about it, if you want crap obstructing your exhuast, just PUT a whole turbochargers on the end of your muff, that will do the trick! (maybe with some good placement it could look neat too!)

ZenkiKid · 07-26-2009, 03:23 PM

It's like an alarm clock.

*handinpants* · 07-26-2009, 07:54 PM

Did zilvia bot really just post this? Haha,
Its an exhaust whistle... California sucks, exhaust whistles are illegal here.

How about zilvia bot finds us something that gives us the power of a turbo without the sound,

i would have to agree... i think it would make a better cover for ur turbo than to actually make people think u have one... if its as loud as people say it is, it should drown out the bov, so why people are laughing at u... inside ur really laughing at them lol
