Well, that's why I went turbo. You can't hear it unless you are being trounced by it. I can hear a supercharger whine when it pulls up, so it makes its own announcement.
They do look kinda cool, but man, are they pricey for what they are.

I don't know... I like my advertising. Also, I was lookinf into a ZO6 style twin turbo emblem but instead of ZO6 it said WS6 and twin turbo below it. Getting a set made now. Here's the ZO6 ones for comparison and also my advertising stripes. Don't worry about the horsepower rating on the badge, he threw a number on there to give me an idea of what it would look like.

Now the stripes look nice. Gives off more attitude than the badges.

They look tacky IMO. Let your turbo do the talking.

I went a different route.



No sense being stealthy.....between the loud-a$$ed BOV + exposed FMIC, there's little doubt.

BTW, I thought those emblems looked "rice" Just my $0.02.
