whats this called?

hey, i was just wondering about an exhaust i saw/heard on a car the other day. it made an awsome "hydraulic push" niose whenever the driver changed gears. it sounded really cool. my friend knows the guy and told me he put push pipes in it, and he described it sort of like a blowoff valve. so idk, does anyone know what this might be. was it a blowoff valve u think, or what? it sounded really kool and i was thinkin of gettin one for myself. it sounded just like on gran tourismo 3, the race cars when they change gears, if that helps describe it

Sounds like rice to me.

Hmmmm. Never heard of em. There are electronic speaker kits that make the blow-off sound. But I've never heard of push pipes.

i tried that...i cant seem to find one. the closest thing is a fake whistle turbo sound. which isnt really what i wanted. i wanted the bov sound. cuz i cant afford a real turbo. plus im only 16, and my parents wont let me get a turbo even if i could afford one
