I recently thought to myself why pay the 5000$ for a supercharger when all I want is the sound? Does anyone know any tricks to do to the air intake that would make it whistle like a supercharger? I was thinking of putting something in the front of it. Would this cause any posential problems to the engine? What else could I do? Any ideas?

It's called a gear drive. It replaces your timing chain. Pete Jackson makes them and they sell in Jegs magazine and probably Summit as well. They make them specifically extra noisy if you want 'em that way.

Dumb remark. It sounds good but its kinda like they guy who has a truck that sounds like a heavy hitting V8 but its running a 2.2L.

Two words.
GROW UP
What the hell are you thinking having an engine sound like it is supercharged.
You might as well stick a sausage down your underwear seeing it is equally ridiculous. Make it look bigger than what it is.

I'll let this one slide, but if you tell me to STFU one more time, consider yourself on a holiday.
Sometimes people need a reality check and see that people will laugh at them when they make their truck to sound like something it isn't.
This is not a problem, nor does it need a solution, this is someone that needs to learn that posing will get him laughed at.

good comment BlazerLT. what are you trying to accomplish with just the sound. it you want it to sound really cool just take off the whole exhuast, it will sound wicked then, and you'll be just as lame. you should have said stupid idea not crazy.

I wasn't being rude to him, I was letting him know just how ridiculous it is.
Posing will get you laughed at.
I just want to save him the embarrassment.

Seriously though, in a couple years I'm going to buy an old geo prism, gut it and mod the firewall, chassis, and build a tubular rollcage and transplant an ls1 and convert to rear wheel drive. It would be a very sweet sleeper.
My gf has a prism lsi, you could change the emblem's "i" to a "1". I also want to get the custom license plate: "ITSAGEO"

I installed a throttle body spacer on my truck and i didnt know it was going to whistle like it does. the only thing you get out of adding it is just the noise.

Actually, it has been proven to reduce horsepower on most 4.3L engines.
