Noisy and loud exhausts
I just dont see the point. And almost always on a corsa!
on crap cars i agree with you on good cars however i disagree

TBH at the end of the day, the more noise a car makes, the more energy its wasting, as sound is created and uses energy! Basics of aero and thermo dynamics. And seeing as a car dosen't use fuel efficently anyways (only about 30% efficency), Id rather have a quiet car which uses that slightly bit less fuel
the bit you are calling an intake is what the americans call a blower. a turbo is a device which uses the fumes of an exhaust in conjuction with (usually) ball bearings which spin creating presure and forcing the air into the engine at a higher speed. un like a super charger which takes its power straight from the drive shaft feeds it through a small transmission increasing the speed on the driveshaft to the wheels.

I know what a turbo does thank you.....
the whole unit is known as a blower, possibly but its the supercharger the blower tag refers to the intake on the top if soo literally named would be the sucker.

Rolf you are infact a ding. Both these cars have blowers
this is a blowerthe bit that sticks up is a type of high flow performance air intake.
It's only a sucker if your a filter. If your an engine it's a blower.
what i mean is a car should sound good an if for example a ferrari loud as well as you should show your pride.
wrong.
as you know the americans have different meanings/words for the same thing eg boot= trunk, bonnet=hood as i said the thing im on about is what THEY call a blower another name for it is an air scoop.:bang:

edit:noticed something LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Er mate I'd look up superchargers on wiki...it does have direct drive from the engine but you really really really have the wrong end of the stick its like a crank driven turbo that is powered by the engine not exhaust gases hence drive belts in blower pics!

dont wish to insult to insult you mate but if you believe anything on wikipedia you are a fool
Beast re read this he appears to think a supercharger is a second gear box....so I don't think he'll get it.

Good god. You honestly go into every post knowing your right don't you?
Since you are obviously way more knowledgeable than other members of the forum. Then you will know all about this car yeah?
The term "blower" is commonly used to define a device placed on engines with a functional need for additional airflow using a direct mechanical link as its energy source. The term blower is used to describe different types of super chargers. A screw type super charger, Roots type super charger, and a centrifugal super charger are all types of blowers. Conversely, a turbocharger, using exhaust compression to spin its turbine, and not a direct mechanical link, is not generally regarded as a "blower" but simply a "turbo".
Also in the english Vs American language thing. Is irrelevant. In america the chrome intakes are intakes Rolfs just a moron who can't tell the difference. Hence why Blower has been getting used since before the americans were even fitting them to cars.
Edit: @ Steven: Yeah I know just playing.
Which dumbass americans refer to an air scoop as a 'blower'
It's doesnt blow for a start. Air is sucked through it.
