Want to make your car sound turbocharged? Get the Turbo Whistler!
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'm ordering one for each muffler on my car, for double the awesome! Between this and that new Nos fuel system additive they keep in the cooler with the beverages at the gas station for some reason, I will be unstoppable.

That story with the guy and his "badly running" bike was absolutely priceless! XD

Id still add on some stickers, a rear wing and those fake hood scoops just to be sure.

Steaming tea sound aside, the engine in the car is a diesel, and, almost by these days definition, it is a turbodiesel. That means, that the car HAS a turbo....

Those are actually energy drinks, but I can picture someone putting it in their gas tank.

I would rank you up but you're already at 3 stars. That is definitely one of my top 5 favorite YouTube videos of all time

Bubb Rubb and Lil' Sis!

My favorite part of that video is near the end when the guy takes off in the car(Supra?), down the wrong side of the road, blows through a stop sign and nearly gets into an accident. All while on on the news. Thought that was especially funny.
One of my all-time favorite videos on the internet.
That said, this story seems quite old. I've known about these turbo whistles at least as long as this videos been out as well. So, like 5-7yrs or so.

Whitey always trying to keep a brotha down, and that is made clear again by Bubb Rubb and Lil Sis not being the most watched video in history on YouTube. Instead, yup, you guessed it, some white guy dancing is the #1 video still.
Woooooowooooooooooooo

Wow, that's truly awful.
Needless to say I want to put one on each exhaust pipe of my SRT-4, just to be ironic.
