I'd lik eto woo-wooo that guy on the head with one of those tips. My Gawd, that's worse than fartcans! I sure hope that's not gonna be a local fad here... :-(

Ya no kidding. Damn you for posting. I bet that someone who has never posted here before will read that & just happen to live in my area & install one. So again I say.. damn you!!! j/k ;)

Fortunately, Oakland PD got off the stick and starting writing citations for illegally modified exhausts shortly after that news piece aired.

But, don't forget - it's jus for deckorayshuns, that's it and that's all.

GOD help Oakland. I hope that s*it doesn't come to NY any time soon.

Oy! I did NOT post that link, Dana Myers [ snipped-for-privacy@arrl.net] did.

But I am of the same opinion as you. Seriously, I will be pissed if they crop up here as I will have to content with an extremely crotchedy wife. She works nights and sleeps days. That whistle scream will undoubtedly wake her up and cause her severe lack of sleep.

I'd have to go out, find the &##%#*# and sackcrete his tip closed. :-)

I hope the neighbourhood bought them boxes and boxes of donuts. :-) Bless their law enforcing hearts

So is my Louisville Slugger. so it is.... :-)

That's me!

Fortunately, the whistle-tip fad was apparently quite localized, it never made it to my part of the SF Bay area, and it's now faded.

Thank the Car Gods for that. :-) But then again, Fla is somewhat slow so it may still pop up here. I just hope I am wrong.

If the fad spreads here I am investing in a power reciprocating saw & cutting off some tail pipes. :P

I am prepared as I have a Craftsman Pro one. 6.5Amp of raw power. But it's not battery powered unfortunately. Using caulk and a caulking gun is probably easier anyway and would prevent them from even starting. *WEG*

You have an email address with the American Radio Relay League???

LOL!!!

Or you could use the Axel Foley Method. The notorious banana in the tailpipe.

That's a waste of of a good 'nana' as our cockatoo calls them. :-) She'd rather have it. As do my dogs. Nah, it's worth the tube of caulk. Which is more time consuming to remove.

Anyway, there's a couple of cops living in our development we are on good terms with. I'm sure action would be taken promptly against whistletippers as one of them does the night shift as well. :-)
