Default So any 5.0s out there got Whistle Tips

They're starting to pop up around here and I actually heard one foxbody in the area with one. In my opinion, they're the ULTIMATE in rice and are more annoying than the fart can exhausts. If I see the foxbody again, I'll try to snag a video of it so you can hear it. Other than the whistle tips, it seems normal so I was a bit surprised by the rice factor.

Are these starting to pop up in your area?

Never heard one of those yet out here in GA, Mustangs are not meant to whistle, they are meant to rumble.

What is a whistle tip? there are only a few 5.0's out here and they are incredibly loud(none are catted) there is really a lack of rice around, thank god and there is this sick sn-95 that you can hear from a mile away with deep dish bullit's and its a yellow gt coupe. I need to talk to the guy because its amazingly nice.

LMAO, didn't know they did an actualy News story on them, but yup those are them. LOUD AS HELL!

Basically, install a piece of metal in your exhaust to turn it into a loud whistle. Dumbest thing ever but they seem to be getting real popular.

they put them on buicks and oldsmobiles in the bay area im pretty sure it originated in east oakland it takes horse power away and gives too much back pressure and decreases gas milage there pointless they also have suction pipes which make a woosh sound and those are also pointless not meant for mustangs
