"I heard a whistle.. your other cars have a whistle...." She's more performance savvy than the average wife!
🤣🤣🤣 she definitely knows enough to be dangerous. She picked up on that quick.
Haha "yeah but that 93 we had to put in was more expensive......alex: yeah but it was worth it 🤣🤣 man maths at it's finest.
Yeah, my wife says, “I was sure I heard a screaming Hemi a minute ago.” , as I walk into the house. My ex-wife drove my brand new Magnum RT while I was borrowing her ‘05 Grand Cherokee 4.7liter for some rough terrain towing. She came home from work in her Jeep, which was no slouch, and said, “something’s wrong with my truck.” I asked what it was. “It doesn’t have a Hemi.” I can pick ‘em. My 20 yr old daughter just got a cherry ‘05 Magnum RT, has never gotten a ticket. I asked last week if she got a ticket yet. Nope. Yesterday she sent me a pic of her 70 in a 60 speeding ticket, knowing the actual speed was probably more like 80. It’s in the blood. Am I a bad example?
"Some cars whistle" 😂😂😂 that was epic!
I mean my Kia’s intake makes a little bit of a whistle sound like a small supercharger when I’m flooring it😂 and no it doesn’t have a turbo😂
Alex - You are absolutely a lucky man! Your wife is so cool with everything and the more she drove the more she enjoyed the supercharger! WOW!
LOVED her reaction. Your wife is GREAT! That's great that she was concerned with the price of 93.
Well....when Brandon helps get 93 to $15.00/gallon......."yeaaah"! 😆
Just checked it... US 93 is 97.4 RON. The highest we can get is 95 RON (US 91) at the pumps in South Africa. Have to special order 98+ RON for track use.
"This thing is healthy, I picked a good one" I am absolutely belly laughing over here. I absolutely love her reaction! 😃
Usually I wait for a video to finish to decide whether I like it or not but with this one just by watching your wife reaction around 5:20 I had to upvote it right away, that feeling of confusion but excitement at the same time was wholesome, way to surprise your wife man. Just awesome.
The fact that he can talk about all that and explain in good detail and she is genuinely taking it in now that’s love right there man 🥺
Your wife did great on the channel! She's a natural in front of the camera! She should never be afraid to be on the channel and hopefully y'all can start doing more videos together!
This man’s is the ultimate car guy.
“my wife was in a accident so I bought her the worlds most safest car”
*2 weeks later*
“lEtS sUPeRcHARgE iT”
Exactly ! It’s for safety. It helps in getting outta the way of any danger ⚠️
Some people's driving skills amplified after their first accident. I had at-fault accident when I was 15. Hasn't got another fault accident for decade.
@@technocody9296 For sure. I had several incidents when I was a teenager (very lucky 🍀 looking back now) and it definitely refined my driving 🚙 in situations.
Your wife's reaction was incredible. I had to go back and watch her reaction again. Too good! 😂 Definitely get her to the track this summer!
Love her reaction 😆. Such a great video like all your videos. Thank you Alex of legit street cars for the excellent content. Please please keep em coming. 🙏 Mrs Alex, take the escalade on the track. Oh n always great to see Peter.
This guy hit gold with this woman. She's literally trying to race on the streets. Your a lucky man sir.
She was so in to the phone holder “commercial”, then when she hammered it… her face! She’s a keeper Alex, you two are actually fun to watch.
Then there’s OJ… steady face the whole time he’s pressing that throttle. Lol.
I like how he pre-gamed us that OJ will likely seem indifferent to the power 🥱
Your wife is such a good sport. I am a new subscriber and have been binge watching your videos. Great content. You are all awesome people that I recon would be awesome to hang out with and that’s what makes your Chanel awesome.
This is beautiful! I love the enthusiasm of family. Great job of video. Just waiting for my warranty to go out which might be another 4 years but very excited. Supercharger all the way for 6.2 no questions asked. I just followed as well. Be careful you two!
Wife: “How much was it”
Alex: “they gave it to me”
Great reaction though 👍
Wow. Her reaction was pure excitement and surprise. That’s a ton of HRSPRS for a ride like that. She loved it, don’t let her tell you anything else! Good surprise for her!
Hey TJ, can you share with us what you did with all the time you saved typing HRSPRS instead of Horse Power.
Also curious to know your rationale for abbreviating power with PRS and not PWR ... or just using HP for the whole thing.
@@fmaz1952 its from Donut Media videos, the guy says hrsprs instead of horsepower.
She is amazing! 👏 🙀
Such a cool wife.
This is the first video I have watched of yours. Great content. Looking forward to watching more.
Dude her face was like 😳 it made a noise, did you hear that…..😂😂😂 that was so awesome.
I'm seriously considering adding this supercharger to my ESV. The warranty expired and I've decided to keep it for a few more years because the new ones are insanely expensive. These videos are awesome. Thanks Alex for the inspiration!
You honestly will not regret it. This thing is such a sleeper and the kit genuinely took Alex and Peter 2 days to install. I was honestly shocked lol
@@MaxBeecher I think it would take less time since they were also changing the spark plugs and cleaning the valves. It really looks pretty easy to install, probably a solid day or day and a half. Guess I need to get my order in with a 10-12 week lead time!
The phone clip integration was GOLD I was laughing so hard. Nice going on staying on script when she was realizing something was up 🤣
Positive displacement blowers (roots or twin screw) are INCREDIBLY sensitive to intake restrictions. If you do the 104mm throttle body, a larger diameter intake, and remove the intake box, you will break 500whp, maybe even 525. Back when ‘03 Cobras were in their heyday, and we were just learning about positive displacement blowers, people would bump the boost up, get up to around 475rwhp, then add a big throttle body and intake and gain 80-100hp with just the intake mods. That means that not only are the super receptive to gains if you reduce restrictions, but they also lose tons of power if you increase restrictions. Make sure your air filter is clean/new. A dirty air filter on a positive displacement blower car can kill 20-40hp.
It is so funny to watch you teach your wife about cars I just subed! It would be really cool to see the escalade at the track btw
Great to see you working with ProClip. They're great and have been working with them for years. Great video!
I have a 2014 V8 Sequoia with 80K miles on it. Is it okay to add a Turbo system without overtaxing the engine?
@@mstrdiver fuck yes those are great engines. just don't buy no cheap ebay turbo. and finding after market exhaust turbo manifolds aren't gonna be cheap, but i would say go for it!
"Yeah, you can wax that F-type"
"OK, we need to find more of a challenge"
You sir have won the wife lottery. LOL
I smiled at that because it is an F-PACE, but who's counting... This was a great video!
My wife would buy the fastest car and drive it like it's a lowrider!!
Her Reaction was Awesome. Even better how excited she is about it. Deff a Keeper ! Great Vid !!
So much great news and excitement! Looking forward to the new project brother
The little chuckle your wife let out on the second hit was just priceless! Clearly she enjoyed the results and you have brought out her inner "bad girl"! Thanks for the content!
It’s funny how the conversation went straight to “Can we get the Escalade V?” 👍
@@mrlithium69 not sad, she just doesnt realize the price. Im sure once he said they got the same thing at 1/4 the price she realized shes got a dope automobile
I love the energy of the videos and between you guys. Definitely wanna see you hit up the drag strip
She's stoked, that's awesome man. Good job. Loved the installation and revealing vids both.
I felt like we were all in trouble when the Mrs. said “Alex, did you do something to this car?!” 😂
Loving The wife’s reaction to the new mod.. she even knows that she has a sleeper now too so definitely a points bonus in my book
Awesome, awesome reaction... Actually pretty impressed that she knows what a "sleeper" is!!
Good video, good fun, solid people and genuine excitement. Nice work, your channel is really won me over. Be well.
Absolutely YES on the dragstrip. She will benefit from knowing more of what it is capable of and may make a safer drive.
460 hp is not that much and it's heavy as shit so it's pretty damn safe but yea to the dragstrip def
@@linkinpiatak6669 The world of youtube and the internet, where 640 hp is not that much....
As car enthusiasts, we all strive to have a partner so accepting and cool with the crazy cars we all love boosted or not! 😎 You sure picked the right lady! Also you finally were able to make the new Escalade seem cool to me!
You 2 are made for each other you have the best chemistry in these vids funny as helll
I Like this guy! smooth talking to his wife and she's partialy picking it up! im getting the kick outta this one! GOOD JOB BRO! YOU THE MAN!
Alex, This just awesome for your wife. I enjoyed it. I was glad when you said the family was fine from the accident and a true testament to the type of vehicle. I must admit I have soft spot for GM. You did well.
Really cool man very nice 😁 your wife's face expression when she had first taken off was priceless 😆😆👍👍👍
"Your other cars had a whistle" as she looks at you suspiciously 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Her reaction was great, and you could clearly hear her sincerity when she said she was up for going to the track. I also think that part of that comes from her wanting to join you doing something you love, so make it happen dude 🤘😁
I love the reaction you and your wife have a awesome connection you guys are great
My old lady is the same way with cars! Love seeing you two all smiles doing something you connect on
I put a ProClip in my 6th Gen SS Camaro. It has not budged a millimeter in 3 years AND it looks like it belongs to the car. It's very "factory option" looking. Their build quality is top shelf. (No, I am not affiliated with, work for, related to anyone at ProClip, I'm just a satisfied customer).
Hear me out. You fill the truck with soccer kids, and get their reaction to your wife launching it...
I remember when I subscribed you only had a little over 100k subs I'm so happy that your channel has been growing so well. Much love Vinnie from Seattle Washington
I've been hangin for this resulting vid to show up. Excellent by the way.
Dude. Your wife stayed in the throttle even though she knew it was going too fast!!! That's what I loved. My wife would have bailed for sure.
Her face was so pure when she hit it! Wonderful reaction, and most definitely she needs to drag it! Keep up the great content Alex!
Lol 😂 her initial reaction omg lol 😂 I’m dying she wasn’t expecting that
LMAO!!! her immediate reaction was hilarious omg lolol!!! gold! Alex, awesome reveal.
This video is gold haha. Love how she doesn't even know the differences between turbo and SC, but keen enough to notice the power difference (even though she's probably numb to fast cars anyway).
"Alex....what did you do?"
"Alex....I know you felt that....."
"I heard a little whistle..."
Gold!
Laughing my freakin arse off! Alex, s/o to you for stayin in character and keeping the convo on the mount 😂 understated acting skills
Can’t wait to show this video to my brother he owns a 2021 Cadillac XT6 he’s been thinking about upgrading to the Escalade and I’m gonna also suggest putting in the Whipple! Can’t wait to see the next video at the track with wifey driving it good video keep up the good work
your reactions alone r awesome... content always makes me smile thx.....
Your wife's reaction was priceless. I had to watch it 3 times. Good job 👏 🤣
I love how she just suggested the Escalade V! You know you can put more power into one of them. She's a keeper 😉
@@mrlithium69 I dunno. Looks like she appreciates it. If the dudes heavy into vehicles and has the cash, a suggestion is nice n showing interest.
She said … ‘Whistle’ 😂😂😂 ADORABLE!! 😂😂😂😂
Fantastic video!! I apologize for not being able to get to this sooner. Thank you Alex!! The reaction of your wife was priceless lol. Absolutely loved this!! I'm lookinh forward to see it getting to at least 500hp and watch it go down the drag strip. Fastest Escalade in the US? Totally achievable. Thanks to all the people collaborating, can't put a price on that... or maybe you can lol.
Your wife's reaction was fantastic , you do realise she will be going everywhere full throttle tyres smoking don't you .
Alex, this is priceless! Your wife went from pure terror to ready to run the quarter mile in one drive. Love it!
@LegitStreetCars her reaction was PRICELESS... Best video ever!
Hell yea.. def subscribing to this channel ! Awesome
The ultimate ying and yang reaction, your wife giggling and OJ being and ultimate stone face 🤣
OJ was completely focused on the instrument panel. I guess he has felt the sensation of horsepower enough that he doesn’t get excited about it anymore. Kind of sad actually. Like someone who works at an ice cream storm who no longer enjoys eating it.
@@IKhanNot That’s great! Good for you! Yes, I never get tired of reading UA-cam comments either.
I like that she asked about what's the difference between a turbo and a supercharger!
YES! She should definitely do that! I would love to see that video!
You have an awesome wife my man! Keep her happy at all costs!
Your wife's reaction (and of course, your wife) is awesome, then the immediate cut to the always stoic OJ was in stark but amusing contrast! I also love how you were trying to change the subject to the phone holder when you knew your wife had you busted 😅
This was a fun video, but Alex when are you getting on that Lightning head gasket? Or are you just going to keep stealing your wife's to do your towing now? 😉
I love the expression on your wife’s face! The first pull surprised her by each one after there was more fun in her expression! Hope she does take it out to the track and has an absolute blast!
Your wife is awesome!!! She knew it from the start. Also noticed the whistle.
On the Lightnings, a lot folks, me included did the "swiss cheese" mod to the bottom of the air box. Basically a small one inch or so hole saw was used. It brings out the sound of the SC a bit more.
Yes...Yes some of them had whistles lol
That's way cool, looks like your wife likes the extra oomph when she woods the throttle! Yes, have her take it down the 1/4 mile and get a good idea of the power output. She will enjoy it immensely.
That Escalade is now the world's fastest shoebox! Drive it like ya stole it! Thanks for the cool video content, Alex.
Alex you sir are a genius!!! This gives me an idea to do something like this to my wife. Love this video!
Best episode yet, I love the scene with your wife.
For everyone bashing Cold air intakes. The application you use it for makes the all difference. Thanks for showing us. ✌️
For all the husbands out there who's wives are now wanting thier family haulers boosted, thanks Alex, thanks a lot lol
your wife is lovely that reaction was so genuine. omg she said she has a sleeper. she knows what's up
22:38 love how the seatbelt fits with his shirt pattern
"This thing's pretty healthy"
LMAO🤣
I love when she says "I have a sleeper' She knows exactly what she's doing. All you soccer moms better hide your pink slips!!!
Your wife is AWESOME!! Hardly ANY other woman would react positively to that and she is such an awesome person!!
Your wife is awesome and her reactions were PRICELESS !!!
I swear, with Peter in the previous Escalade video who is just an absolute gem, your wife’s reactions here and also seeing Max, it’s all just so wholesome and fun! I’m loving everything you’re doing Alex, seriously, keep it up!! P.S. I can’t wait to see more on the Lightning and also to see your wife put the Escalade down the 1/4 mile, that’s going to be epic and just great content haha
Great video Alex. Your wife’s reaction was priceless. She is such a good sport and also a class act. Well done all the way around.
To say that she LOVES her new truck is an understatement. She is already calling it a sleeper and might never wipe the smile off her face. AWESOME!!!
Her smile passing the semi is super worth it! Great job my friend!
100% take her to the track. That's a no brainer. Especially when she said, YES!!!!
Lol, That was so cool to see your wife's reaction. Looks like she really likes the upgrades on the Escalade !!! 👍🏽👍🏽
“You felt that” lol I love it
Your wife's reaction was really cool, awesome in fact. Definitely make a video that you put a K&N on it with a heat shield and the larger throttle body, then dyno it again and take it for test drive and maybe do some runs at a track, because...Make Escalades Greater Again (faster-funner). ;)
Gotta love the instant power boost. My Challenger with a 5.7 went from 373 crank HP to 484 H 496 T at the wheel with 6.3 pounds of boost on my water intercooled Kenney Bell supercharger (just a sane and safe boost, the SC can go easily to 800 wheel HP on this engine and it is a smaller blower). You have the nice cold air of winter Chicago and I was in mid 70s spring time So Cal desert (FAMOSO Raceway... the one that is very often seen in many Motor Trend shows such as Roadkill) I would love to have your AWD traction! Even with the biggest DOT drag radials we can stuff on my back end, without a prepared track I have to feather into the power to keep hooked up. Your wife will very quickly get used to having the "extra" power to do things like you did, get around slow trucks. LOVE the boost! Factory tunes are OK but way over safe. After you get your induction and exhaust worked out take that in for a custom dyno tune. You easily will get another 20 or more HP and TQ out of the truck without any danger to the truck at all. But then, you already knew that LOL :D Congrats to both of you!
Most wives: what's an engine?
Alex's wife, ~nine minutes into this video: I WILL DESTROY YOU F TYPE
You've earned my sub sir, love the video and her reaction.
You have a fantastic wife :) your one lucky S.O.B,I love the way she smile, every time she pushes the pedal down :) so yes bring her to the track :)
She is wearing her seat belt or you'd hear a chime the entire time. Its under the scarf!Should she race it at the 1/4 dragstrip?

That would be pretty cool
Maybe that would be awesome
Absolutely
She should race you in the Turbo Trans Am for a His & Hers White GM Duel!
Glad she loves it. Yes, she should drag it, like now, early spring time so she can feel and SEE the results.
Wait, that’s not your wife now😂
I LOVE blowers, so much better for street use. A simple cone filter maybe on the inside of that housing cover so you can keep it or get a junk one to cut… It will make the whine a lot more pronounced. That’s what I did to my Grand Prix and it sounded so much better.
