    What are you calling a "fart pipe"? I'm not familiar with that usage.

    Tailpipes that restrict the flow of exhaust (opposite of a glass pack)
    and cause the car to sound like a motorcycle with a very shrill exhaust note.

    A couple of years ago in West Oakland, CA, people were making "whistle
    tips", exactly what you'd expect. Make your car exhaust into a shrill,
    our of tune, shrill whistle to annoy your neighbors.



    ... Listen to the quiet voice

    Cue the "woo-woooo!" video that went viral before going viral was in our vernacular :P
