Heres Ian's video of Jeb's malfunctioning thunderbolt, you can def tell that the blower gives its major kick.

I am just amazed by the difference that the blower makes on those things! i'm just going to say my selfish thoughts and say that I don't want them to make a blower for the T-Bolt... Because I want it lol. After looking close at the siren in town I'm not sure if it is an S-10... I'll try to get pictures soon.

The blower makes all the difference in the world. However, I'm impressed by just how loud a Thunderbolt horn will amplify a cell phone lol; Just ask Ian and Jeb, we got the bright idea to play a cell phone ringtone through the throat of it and one of us listen in at the bottom. It was quite a bit louder. Then we tried yelling into it, screaming into it...

Well having the leafblower is at least a little better than just the chopper :D

Doesn't a leaf blow only provide enough air for a certain RPM of the chopper?? I've seen a video of guys using a leaf blower and anything over 2000 RPM it would just suffocate.

At that speed it's pulling in way more than what the leaf blower can provide, hence why it has such a big blower.

A leaf blower makes it little louder, but it's still nothing compared to the extreme sound abuse that a real blower can provide. Plus it's starving for air at anything above a growl.
