Hot New Product: Exhaust Tip Spinners!
We here at Autoblog work tirelessly to bring our readers timely and useful information about all things automotive,
particularly advanced, cutting edge technologies that can improve your vehicle.
Well, this isn't useful, it's not advanced, and it doesn't look sharp enough to be cutting edge, so it must be… Bling!
Yes, for the ride that has everything, the Exhaust Tip Spinner! Sort of like an exhaust-powered Veg-o-matic, this unit
spins up in the exhaust flow, mesmerizing following traffic and amazing all who gaze upon its spinnee
wonderfulness.
All this for $39. Comes in a couple of stylin' designs, too. I wonder if there's a dual exhaust version with
counter-rotating spinners?
[Thanks, Nick!]

Turbines are supposed to be installed before the exhaust and actually contribute to preformance.

That's right up there with the propeller which attaches to a towing hitch.

Well, if were to buy a useful cat-back exhaust spinner product it would be the STS remote turbo kit!
See www.ststurbo.com/ Quite fun, I would imagine. It costs 100X of the the bling product, though :(

My favorite part is at the end when they blow the stop sign and almost get killed. Now that's natural selection at work.

You connect that thing to a dynamo with a belt and use it charge the batteries and you have an hybrid. I'm no engineer but can anybody tell me if somebody has tried that.

Not nearly as tacky as truck nutz, though...

Maybe have propeller direction to signify what gang the car owner's in. Clockwise spin is for Crips and counter clockwise is for Bloods. YEAH!

Hybrid owners, hook up a belt to these things, attach to a generator and recharge the batteries!
