s/c noise
 

What makes a s/c whine and is there a way to make the supercharger on my car louder? Which s/c has the loudest whine and how does the Eaton rate in the loud dept ie middle of the pack etc. Thanks guys:chacha:

I'm not sure about the Shelby's Eatons but I know the new Vortech superchargers are quieter than the old ones - UNLESS you request an old style supercharger - the major improvement in the new style Vortech is the sound / noise levels (which lots of people like) - hence, they continue to make it available. I know Prochargers are pretty loud. My car sounds like a frekin airplane is taking off.

Take the hood blankie off. Instant howlllll!!!! Oh and a CAI.

I know on the 03/04 Cobra's there was something you could do to it that involved filling some holes that made the blower scream ridiculously loud. Not sure what it exactly was or whether it works on new cars.

Could it be that they may have put cats in them......:P

Thanks guys

There are bleeder holes to regulate the pressure I think. I seem to remember someone telling me about it when I had my 06 Cobalt SS.SC.

Yeah, they are silencer holes actually.

I think the loudest blowers that I have heard are the Kenne Bell 2.2L for the 03/04 Cobra.

Magnusson Powers makes a blower for the Ford Lightning that is pretty loud as well.

My Ported Blower makes alot of noise, especially hitting 16psi. But my exhaust drowns it out really good.

Thanks yellowgt. I could not think of the right terminology at the time.

i've always noticed that kenne bell blowers are a lot louder than most. is there any real reason for that?

hmmm a kenne bell GT500.... :rockwoot:
