yes obviously it's not going to sound exactly like a s/c. they just wanted to copy the whistle. i think any kid can figure out that a pipe with a filter on one end isn't going to make a car sound exactly like the boosted car next to it.

my car whistles in the morning when its cold, not during the day when its hotter.

I always just thought it was the stock intake.
