OMG I had to register just to let you guys know something I found hilarious.. on the ebay ad now, scroll down and look at the pics.. since the ad used someone else's pic for the turbo kit, they changed the pic:

ExtremeCarParts is a big shop too, hilarious that they would do this but I give them props.

Yeah, but no one will take your ride seriously unless you combine that with a genuine, authentic Turbonator!!!

Ok so maybe this is just me, but if you put those things in your exhaust, won't it decrease your performance on testpipes and such because you are actually clogging the exhaust... at least, that would seem to me...

No, because the "vortex" they create actually accelerate the exhaust flow...

Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!!

Plus that hunky bolt shifts extra weight to the rear of the car, adding to the traction...

Actually its not funny where I go to school we have about 6 people who have those on their trucks/cars. It is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. As well as the most annoying. Its a very very sad day when people buy things to make their cars/trucks sound different when you can buy an exhaust system or the real thing.

Pretty lame but funny at the same time. and by looking at the pics, is the exhaust really coming out of that tiny pipe on that do hicky they invented, or am i looking at it wrong?

Funny tho

Now, now, let's not be so harsh in our judgment. It all depends upon how you define the term "performance". If you drive a Z for the impressive looks and all you want to do is impress the sidewalk on-lookers, then perhaps a Turbonator, a BOV-sound-simulator, and a turbo whine generator may be all you need to put on the ultimate "performance."
