You can drill "angled" holes in your pulleys to get a supercharger sound. I wouldn't recommend it, though. It can weaken the structural integrity of the pulley, but more to the point, it's just plain dumb.


If you want a louder intake whistle, you should consider ITBs - they're a pretty penny, though. /

Or, you could weld in some baffles in your throttle body. They should give you a nice whistle.

The physics of the air being sucked in at such a high velocity.



BTW, I googled "kazoo" and came up with this:
