Thread: Why no whine??!

not knowing your car, but you do have a supercharger under the hood right?
those intakes boxes are a box, so they do quiet the whine some.

more then likely you'll hear it more.

but if you take the cover off then you are defeating the purpose of it. its made to keep the hot air out of the intake, so its still drawing through that 4 inch hole on the side of it, where its getting much cooler air vs whats under the hood.

if your stock having that box dont really add up to much. no hp to be gained, just looks cool. you could maybe send it back and make your own intake for about 40 bucks. its what most of us do. and you can hear it whine like mad.


where in NJ are ya?

Do something like this for whine, I'v seen people use the stock tube or use I think its like a 45 degree plumbing fitting or something. I don't know much but, I would imagine it wouldn't matter if it was a CAI or HAI because the supercharger is still going to heat the air up.

Can't you still hear the whine even with the stock airbox just a tad? With the Wizaired CAI you should definitely hear it. I'm pretty sure a couple others have it around here and it makes a difference, there are no baffles in it.

i didnt hear jack with my stock air box. nothing at all.


with the DP and plog you lost some boost. the 3.4 will fix your whine up.

i used camp at the KOA in toms river, im sure its still there lol

exhaust mods lower your boost some. so maybe. or maybe your rotor coating is long gone.

how many miles you got? year and all that good stuff.

You should be able to hear the S/C whine bone stock. with any sort of intake it should be clearly audible. My guess is your rotors aren't sealing well (coating has flaked off) and thus you're not compressing much air.

As of now I have a 3" downpipe, u bend delete, front powerlog, and of course....the Wizaired. I hope to drop my pulley size and get a tune in the next month or two. What really confuses me is watching Wizaired CAI videos on YouTube and everyone's whine is as loud as the next.

Im pretty close to you I'm in Howell close to Brick.

And for the record, I can hear my supercharger even with the bypass solenoid disconnected.

Did you hear it before you touched anything?

does the boost gauge show boost?

Mine had some whine even with the stock airbox after SRI it was really loud even with stock pulley and stock exhaust

under the blower you can see the rotors if they are coated still. if clean and shinny the coating is gone.




is the boost gauge showing boost? you know the lego blocks.
