You can get a turbine resonator(s) for your muffler(s) to do the trick. A small turbine in the exhaust system will spin causing a high pitch sound from the car. Note that this is a specialty item and it may have to be taken from a different car or ordered from an internet muffler site. If you have a turbo charger, or twin turbo charger, I wouldn’t recommend it, due to the serious backflow, and overheating due to a poor air intake system in the Trans Am (ground effects are never as good as an old fashioned grill). A supercharger would possibly enhance the sound and give your car a higher performance rate than stock. Hope this helps.

Aussie, ground effects bring in a lot of dirt from the road, along with a trubo charger can cause backup and overheating (did some research on this and I talked to a friend who owned a 3rd generation Camero with similiar set up).aussieknight wrote:Heh heh...kids. We are talking about a simple addition here, not a complicated modification like adding a turbocharger to the exhaust. Yes, turbos make a whining sound, but it's not what we're after. Let's not restrict our exhaust just to get a sound from it! Backflow and overheating caused by ground effects? What the...?
That's the year my dad's car was! A 1979 Mercury Zephyr. It was dark green with tan interior. Was our "family loaner" car so to speak - my dad would loan it out to family that would come up and visit from out of state. He also would loan it to me when my Chevy S-10 would break down yet again and I'd have to go off for parts (yet againR.J.1984 wrote:Funny thing - I at one time owned a 1979 Zypher
I know this is an old thread, having joined this forum quite recently, I haven't actually been able to explore.KnightRider2000 wrote:aussieknight wrote:I said on KRO to get a TURBINE RESONATOR for your car, and scrap the turbo, cause it can make the backup worse.
About a year ago I went to Mark's Custom Kits and consulted him with this idea. He said a resonator would work fine, even though he doesn't sell it, and you'll have to go to a specialty company for it. I then even consulted a retired mechanical engineer, and he said a resonator should do the trick, you just have to take the time to search for it.

LOL... Yeah it ain't a new car and plus I don't think Chrysler will sell me a turbine engine...K.A.R.R. (09) wrote:why get a resonator when a real turbine engine exists?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IF0VbUb_Ug" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Great idea, but not my thing. I was looking some real mods on my car.Milo wrote:what about something like this

Im sure some one could rig or change the sound to kitts sound
