Make the supercharger louder?

Is there a way to make your supercharger whine louder. I think it sounds cooler than a turbo personally.


Anyone knows how to do this and what you'd have to do to it or if I would need the other stages to make it scream at other peoples cars?

intake is 90% of what will make a blower louder

it will get a little louder due to pitch with smaller pullies, and porting, but the intake will give you the biggest change, and the easiest and safest way.

i heard you can make it louder by porting it out. and of course an intake will do it also.

removing excessmaterial on the inside, then polishing it smooth. makes for better airflow.

^dont do it yourself

airbox mod + k&n filter = less than $50, 5-10hp and WAY louder s/c whine,
other way would be smaller pulley or porting the s/c
search the how-to section for help with air box mod..... or porting the blower but i dont recommend you doing it on your own unless you have the proper tools and knowlegde, you could easily wreak something if not done properlly but a airbox mod or intake is easy with basic tools....

the only difference between the aftermarket intake is 200 dollars and the aluminum piping. the aftermarket aluminum pipe and stock pipe is the same size so the only thing you need to do is put a high flow filter on there. now if i remember correctly, somebody was filling a hole in the supercharger which would make it louder. people say it works but have never tried it. anybody have some input on this????

^Do you have fitment issues with your fugita? Even though ive read through all the threads saying there is some bad fitment, something in the back of my head tells me 4 is better than 3inches, lol.

No problems here - little rubbing when I go hard to the right on the steering, but no metal-on-metal problems like others have had. Took a little while to get it right (and an extra set of hands), but nothing that wasn't expected. Sounds great, can't even hear the exhaust over 5k...
