Wait, this isn't something that they configure the truck to do all the time? They can turn it on and off?

I thought this was some shitty way of being "special", like a loud exhaust, but being able to turn it on and off to gas people is downright evil.



It's not a "switch" per-se (though some of the kits have realtime tuning switches to make more/less smoke on demand).

It's a purposely poorly-turned engine + accelerator control.

TL;DR: poor turning, and floor it (high RPM).

This video gives a pretty good overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miTnnJ7xMv8


Ah, even worse, you can gas people and your engine pollutes normally as well.

I didn't think people would be this shitty, but here we are.
