i saw that too. i know you were just kidding about it, but i think it sounds great. but if you look at the illustration, the bolt is like just hanging out there. seems like it would be really obvious. that really screws up the look i think. if it wasnt for that, i would have considered getting it until i had enough money for a nismo exhaust. the picture of the actual z doesnt have it in place it seems.

Putting some crap like this in a 350Z would be a hair short of putting glass packs in a Ferrari.

Default YAY - - Ain't advertisin' grand?

I'm sorry, but that was weak.

Everything about the ebay listing is total BS - - except that this whistle may sound something like a turbo.

I'm a filmmaker and I'll tell you right now there is no need to have 20 cars with whistles to fake a turbo sound. If some producer wants to do it that way - - fine, but it's dumb to do it that way because they'll have to add all the sounds again to all of the driving scenes in post production (after shooting) so there is no need to rig all cars with this device. Hell, there's no need to rig ONE car with this device, as every possible driving situation with multiple cars can be faked in post production - - we're talking professionals in sound design and mixing.

Just wanted to let this out.
