Only thing missing is a light that comes out the pipe when you hit it.

haha nah i know exactly what it is for. Its for stupid ricers who want you to think that their car isnt a piece of trash with body kits and fart cans, that it is actually turboed. Then, when you destroy their *** they can say "oh my turbo must have messed up" or something extremely gay like that as an excuse, leaving most people to believe that they really have a turbo and that their car isnt garbage. Whoever buys those things and installs them on their car should have their car lit on fire.

Heh, heh, heh. I thought you guys would have fun with this!

The best part is that you could decide to go turbo later and still leave it on! For DOUBLE TURBO!!!
