a lot of tuners have the whistle noise like air coming out when they shift or rev, what causes that? its a really cool noise if that helps...

i am assuming it's something like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...lated it's probably a blow off valve or a turbo/super charger.

Is it "only in the morning" ?http://www.millerarts.com/inte....html

They sell thingies that make that noise for the ricers if you want one so you can pretend to have a turbo or something.

I think what you are talking about is an air shifter. I don't know much about them though, just heard of them.

Just buy a Short Ram Intake (SRI) you'll get the air suck noise, maybe a little more power, and the ease of cleaning your air filter instead of having to replace them. When you accelerate it will give a Brrrrp sound as the air is being sucked in and it's not too annoying and you're not going to be a poser.

Yeah man what your hearing is a blow off valve realeasing built up pressure from a turbo when you let off the gas.

Son we have to get together and talk cars lol. A blow off valve is part of a turbo set up. Not all factory turbos have them, But most after market ones do. Basically, unless you have 5 grand laying around, your car wont sound like that.

I was also going to mention if you have to ask about the Turbo / BOV then you probably shouldn't get one... the time/cost envolved, esp for a vibe... go buy a car that already has a factory turbo, and then just add the BOV...

http://www.saber-edv.com/saber.wmv LMAOI'm ALMOST willing to buy one and fit this in my rusted, not running anymore, 98 Grand Prix Pimp Ricer.

Do it! Then you can get the interfooler to complete the look:

My car actually make those noises for real (my mistress, not my vibe)... lol... (they all have powa envy...lol)

and in total what parts combined with eachother produce that noise?

any decent turbo system...
