It has probably been seen on here before but is this for real?

Similar to Turbo engine sound
Similar as in they are both "sounds" yes.

Where a turbo whistle changes in pitch .. these just change in volume.

Makes me wonder why I bothered

The K&N enhances the noise of induction that is already there, this is trying to make the car sound like a turbo which isn't there!

(I have a K&N)
