Installing a turbo whistle in the exhaust duct of the muffler allows you to simulate the sound of an automobile turbocharger, which gives the car a personality and creates the effect of driving a car with increased power. Installation of the whistle is not particularly difficult and can be done by the car owner independently.
Installing a turbo whistle in the exhaust duct of a car muffler allows you to create an imitation of the sound of a turbocharger when the engine is running. This makes it possible to distinguish a car from the total mass of cars on the road, to draw the attention of other drivers and pedestrians to it. Using the whistle gives the driver the feeling of having a more powerful and more expensive car, which gives the driver confidence in driving.
The whistle sound changes depending on the engine operating mode. At low revs, the whistle sound corresponds to a slight whistle of the turbocharger at idle, and when you press the accelerator pedal it is amplified in accordance with the driving speed. The sound of the whistle is pleasant to the ear and does not cause negative sensations, which distinguishes this device favorably from direct-flow mufflers.
Basic sizes
To put a whistle on a muffler, it is necessary to select the correct size. Manufacturers offer to install a turbo whistle on the car, made in one of four versions. The size of the whistle designed for installation on a particular car model depends on the engine size.
The smallest size S whistles are designed for use on scooters and motorcycles. A whistle of standard size M is installed on the mufflers of cars with an engine volume of up to 1.5 liters, and for cars with engines of a working volume from 1.5 to 2.0 liters - size L. For non-standard models of mufflers and cars with engines of over 2.0 liters turbo whistles of size XL are installed. Structurally, whistles of various standard sizes differ in the diameter of the flow section, which can be 25, 30 or 35 mm.
Design features and installation
The whistle body is made of high quality aluminum - light and durable metal that does not corrode. One of the design elements of the whistle is a regulator that changes the amount of air passing through it. By changing the position of the knob, you can adjust the sound you want.
For installation on a car muffler, the whistle has a special curved bracket that contains a hole with a clamping bolt. To install the turbo whistle, it is enough to place it in the exhaust pipe of the muffler and secure it with a bolt. This action is not particularly difficult, so the installation can be performed both in a car workshop and on your own.
