If they’re doing it to headlights, they probably are. Foglights it could be either.

The idea behind the yellow is the way the light refracts, they work better in worse conditions (snow and heavy rain). Perfect for foglights, silly for driving lights.
Not sure if serious or never heard of the “shocker”.
Some actual fatory quad tips do that, one side is behind a valve that only opens under heavy throttle. Even some dual tips are like that, BMWs especially. (Very entertaining when one of those valves finally opens and blows all the soot that collected out.)
...wait. By that logic the Ford is in the right. He's not taking anymore space than anyone else. If anything he's taking less while being in a bigger car. Very considerate!
The second video kinda proves it, actually... They sound awesome! ...and then they pass you, and you hear the exhaust instead of the intake, and cringe.
Maybe I should consider growing up. And getting a super sedan. Wait, scratch that. I should.
As a person with long hair (like to the belt long), this is actually pretty excusable. The second grimiest part of me after a long day of working on cars is my forehead and temples. Reason being, you can tie your hair up, grease it every which way with gel, hell you could glue it in place, and it still finds a way to…
Literally everything in this video:
It still has a place to go- back through the compressor wheel. That's why is makes that sound, it's the extra air chopping through the spinning wheel.
What BOV/BPVs can’t do is make the choo-choo noise people talk about. That’s the lack of a BOV.

I’m not trying to say belts are better than chains, because in many ways they aren’t. However, as a hobbyist, not someone who buys new cars with warranties and dealerships everywhere, chains are more annoying than belts.
The difference is, timing belts, as it’s known they need to be replaced, are designed to be easy to replaced. You rarely have to “tear into an engine” to do a timing belt. On a modern subaru, for example, the bare minimum required for a timing belt change is removal of the radiator fans, crank pulley, and timing…
I think American pushrod V8s might be the only modern example of a good timing chain setup. Well, and the V6s derived from the V8s.
Significant labor isn’t a great argument, most chains require removal of the engine to replace (especially German ones) whereas many timing belts do not. Obviously this isn’t a rule, there are exceptions, but a Subaru’s timing belt can be done with hand tools in a parking lot. Try that with a Jetta’s chain. Granted, a…
For one, the belts tend to be quieter. Two, there’s less parts to deal with (no guides, a single tensioner). Three, they don’t need to be in an oil bath, so there’s less engine casting to make, fewer seals to leak, etc. Four, they’re cheaper, both to make and replace, and they nowadays last the manufacturer’s expected…
What, you mean like the Audi S4, with it’s 4 chains between the engine and trans?
You could do this with any generic smartphone.
You say it can move under its own power, but put a 300lb school library landwhale in it, and watch all of the coolant exit the exhaust pipe up the 1/2 mile hill heading into school...
