    Probably something to do with the muffler he bought, or if he has an induction kit fitted to the engine that would make a roar when he accelerates.

    What car does he have?

    Its most likely a new muffler.

    Does anybody know how you can get it to make that swoosh sound when you shift. Its almost like when you shift up, it shoots out air. Does it have to dow thi muffler or what?

    Cuz once I get my skyline, I want that :)

    lol if you want that "Psst" sound you might have to spend alot to do that.. if its a skyline GTS then just upgrade the turbo.. but its a stock skyline any mdl you might have to buy a turbo kit.

    Its just a blower valve "popper valve" that makes the noise, only when the throttle closes thats why you hear it when you change gears. I wouldnt bother doing all that for performance and noise most likely you would get bored of it and sell it. Just get a V8 lol...

    It's probably one of them mufflers thats half the size of his car. I'm still trying to figure out why someone would want thier car to sound like an airplane.

    Makes it sound faster than it really is, which tbh is dumb. Theres no point in doing cosmetics before work under the hood.
    Otherwise you just look like an ass when you get wasted in a race.

    Having a sleeper is the best. Completely stock outside, but your pushing 400hp with turbo under the hood, and you kill em.

    Blow off valves have to be the most retarded thing since those "fart cans" became popular, they get annoying rather quickly. A kid in my school has one of them on his Passat and it's so stupid, we nicknamed it the blow-me-off valve to piss him off.

    If you're going for that tuner sound, you'll want to invest in a new muffler, but it's pretty stupid if you ask me. They're incredibly obnoxious, especially when you get a huge one that doesn't even fit under your car correctly (trust me, I've seen plenty). If you're looking for a more aggressive/rumbling/muscle car-like sound, there's a few different things you can do. On some V8's, cutting the muffler off (not the cats, just the muffler) can give you a really nice tone, or you can opt for a Magnaflow/Flowmaster type of muffler if you have the money. I've heard that a new air intake can give a decent sound when you accelerate, but I can't imagine it would be that much different.

    Chances are you want that ricer tone, so what I just posted won't help but it might be useful to someone else.

    Its most likely a cheap $50 ricer muffler, or a ghetto short ram intake. If you have no clue, im sure its nothing serious, or your friend would be talking about it.

    in reply to the "swooosh sound"... thats a blow-off valve from a turbo setup, or some cheap ebay crap that goes on your exhaust to make the sound which makes you lose performance.

    Don't use RICER EQUIPMENT. Get real deal performance products. You will be much more happier then having some coffee can muffler that will get you pulled over and prolly fail emissions.



    o and blow off valves are not retarded... ricers making fake crap to make the sound is. blow off valves are important. It clears unused air in the turbo and intercooler, so the turbo can safely spool again.

    Lol people are different on how they think and like there cars.. A guy at work has a Honda Civic and pretty much spent over 30k on it. Having said that its like buying a crappy car and put after market products on it which has performance thats bit better than a V8. Im Aussie so im pretty much brought up with muscle cars..
