You need the help of twin turbos, so you can hear them spool down without rolling down the window or opening the door.......

Mental Health Proffesionals say that one out of every four people are mentaly instable. So think of three of your closest friends, and if they seem normal, then its YOU!!!

Define normal? I think it's normal to listen to the turbo spool down through the exhaust. In fact, I think it's so normal that I installed stacks so I could hear the turbo even better.

Hey Doc NO-NECK, what's wrong with my suggestion? It's been proven very effective time and time again.

The "spool down" noise is one of the many things I love about my truck. And it sounds especially nice through the 5" stack when the back window is open.

nuthin wrong that cant be fixed with stacks/twins etc. your wife probably likes some things that could make some people wonder about her ie...dr phil, opra or something like that. maybe she needs the help
