Default turbo simulators

it's just a simple little thingamajig that goes in your exhaust and i was wonderin if they sounded anything close to real. i've considered gettin' one of these just for foolin' around with the honda/acura guys at the school and just for kicks and giggles in general. so go to ebay motors, parts and accessories, and after you do 05 to 07 scion tc just search for turbo simulator and see for yourself. let me know what you guys think?

Hmm. I would suggest not doing it. I mean you're not turbo so why act like you are. It just seems like it would cause more trouble than the $20 it cost is worth. Thats like me putting NOS stickers on my car but not ever running a nitrous kit. I guess that puts it in the ricer mod category? Save your money for something useful like say . . . gasoline.

I'd buy it just to put in somebody's exhaust, and drive them insane.

do well to remember that Accord b/c w/ this post you wont be too far off.
And 1 day you will meet a turbo Civic and you'll race it and you'll get destroyed.

Ya I guess if you wanna put it on someone elses car and dont mind blowing $20 like that. Put it on the most riced out car you can find in the lot. Then keep an eye out for it for a few days haha. Maybe try parking next to it when you go to school. Once school is out, get to your car early and wait for the guy to get to his car and await the surprise haha.

Hell he might even think his VTEC turned into a turbo magically and go try racing a tC.

My number 1 rule in life: Anything that has "turbo" in the name that is not a turbo SUCKS.

I was hoping the day would never come that I would actually run into somebody who wanted to buy one of these things, but I guess you can't run away from reality forever. People buy stupid sh*t.

I guess the sound would be kinda cool I will agree, pretending you have something you don't is not cool.
