Ok, for those of you that have a supercharger, does it have a loud "whine"?? Or is it pretty quiet??

 

Have you heard Scalberts dump pipe Vid....She's a whinin :P

I wish my sound worked :sigh:

 

I was going to put a supercharger on mine but the cheapest I could find was the comptech for $4500, and they were going to charge me a grand for install. =/ i've spent a lot of money pretty fast on my car anyways, so i figure i'll wait a while if i do eventually decide to. but that video makes me wanna get it on tomorrow haha

 

The whine is there, but not that loud for me.

 

Thanks andy for the vid. Red rider, is very noticble like salbert's vid, or just a slight reminder that yo uhave to listen hard for??

 

In addition, here is the first video I shot after installing the blower. This was done back in March of 2003 just a few days after installing the blower. This is with the base kit and pulleys.

First SC Drive Video

 

It is there when on the throttle but during normal driving or idle it is not heard. Those videos were doen WOT and with the radio off. That is when you really hear it. Even so, it still is not obnoxious and is actually very nice. Of blowers, this one has a nice, quiet and mello tone.

 

Thanks scalbert. That vid sounds awesome-exactly what I want-nice and quiet until you push it!!

 

So how does the intercooler affect the noise scalbert??

 

Not at all. There was no noticeable difference with or without the IC.

 

Awesome, might have to get me one of those!!

 

At idle, there's only a very slight difference in sound over stock + plus the intake sound. When you get on it, there is a noticeable whine, but not too loud.

 

:thatsoundmakesmehard:

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Way too much information.

 

TMI!

 

It's noticeable, but not over done. You'll feel it though

 

where do you plan to do the install?

Well, if I were to do it, I would have it done at Sterling Acura here in Austin. I know the guys over there and they are real good.

 

are they also going to get the blower?

if you dont mind me asking, how much did they quote you?

i got quoted at a local shop for the SC/b-pipe/tranny fluid/motor oil/ battery/ tranny cooler for 5000 installed

and that is why I posted up. He wanted a baseline, and that he got.

 

Now I remember, this was one of the last pieces of info that helped me make up my mind to get the S/C. Got to love the whine...

 

trust me, the whine is hypnotic. after sitting in your CL wwhhhhheeeeeeeee!

 

For a minute there I thought that was Lower Roswell Rd, but anyways is it the low PSI that keeps the sound so quiet?

 

Naw, that is up in Woodstock just outside my neighborhood.

The lower boost = slower turning blower = less SC whine.
