That sound when Shifting?
In the movies, whenever the modded cars shift gears, there's a sharp hissing sound. What makes that sound? Is it blow off valves? I thouhgt Blow off valves were only used with turbos or something.

So far all of the cars in all of the F&F movies made that sound, so are they all turbo'd or what? I just want to know what upgrade mod causes the sound, and why does it happen only when they shift gears? Does anyone actually know the answer?

Yes its caused by a blow off valve from a turbo. The only way a car gets that sound is from a BOV

hahahahahaha
but to answer the question yes its because he has the turbo and the blow off valve is making that sound. The whole point of the blow off valve is to relieve excess turbo pressure that results from shutting the throttle rapidly under boost conditions.

*JDM Type-R ALUMINUM Turbo BOV Horn (Get the turbo sound without the Turbo).
*Own a Non-Turbo and want the BOV Swoosh Sound? Want others to hear the sound or TURBO spooling up without spending thousands on a turbo system??
*Then get this easy to install BOV/Turbo Horn that will give you the pretige of a turbocharged car without the $$$.
*This is the trick many Movie producers use, and will keep a smile on your face time and time again.

"SOUNDS LIKE CRAP NOTHING LIKE A BLOW OFF VALVE"
"I understand it's fake but, product was broken & when fixed sounds like S#*%"

No, but is that Ebay seller one of your paying sponsors? Funny, or not, they're selling something, and getting free advertising from one of your users.
It's your friggin rules, if you want to enforce them, then do it, but don't pick and choose when you're going to do it.

Thanks for advising me on my duties, but I think I have it under control. If you have any other suggestions, feel free to PM me, but don't do it in this thread. Thanks.
