Exhaust on K.I.T.T

[needmykitt]

does anyone know what kind of exhaust kitt uses to make it sound like a jet or that turbine sound? I saw a guys kitt on youtube and it sounded just like kitt with the turbine sound.....

In the series it was a normal Trans Am duel exhaust. The so-called normal "V-8 rumble" was dubbed over with Universal's jet engine sound effect throughout the series. What you hear on the fan made replicas are also sound effects.

WOW. I never thought they have a name of the sound created by the engine but it sure sounds like a big name "V-8 Rumble" very nice

The original KITT had the two single chamber mufflers out back. This setup has KITT's very distinct rumble. To me, it definately sounds like a 350 or 305 . As for the turbine sound, I know Brenon(Lectric Enterprises) has a scanner that incorporates the turbine sound also. I'm trying to develop a turbine sound that will go with RPM of the car. I've done tried alot out there, like turbos (STS) turbo systems, all the way to the turbo whistler. That's a very hard sound to duplicate. My ride right now will have a set of timing gears and a turbo to try and duplicate it, but I've found a couple of things that will probably get the job done, just got to do more research. I also think Billy (Custom Designs) is also working on the jet (turbine sound) too. So, if it can be done, I'm sure he will achieve it. Anyway. This is a great topic and I'd love to hear of ideas about the turbine sound . Anyway. You guys (and ladies) take it easy. Talk with ya soon

Any ideas if a turbine resonator would work in giving a car a jet engine sound along with the engine rumble???

[Knight Racer]

Wasn't Kitt a single exhaust switched yo a dual exhaust?
