LOUD supercharger whine
I'm betting the intake/airbox is causing this as I know thats what causes it for the C32 and aleksander1099's post confirmed it when he stated after he got his airbox it was louder. What I wonder is why some cars with airbox/intake mods don't sound like another one with it as it whines so loud.
From what I seen aleksander1099's and Sleeper X's cars sound so amazing similiar to a Cobra. I love the loud SC whine, What needs to be done to get that sound, just the airbox and intake or are there more mods needed? The airbox aleksander1099 has seems to be discountinued as the company site is down and it i've read that it was just metal wrapped in cf, not true cf. I believe Sleeper X has a Renntech Airbox, any reason why the VRP airbox doesn't help make it so loud and whine as the other 2 airboxes?

People say I have the whine and that it's loud. I hear it from the inside a bit but I guess it screams on the outside. I do not have an aftermarket airbox btw.
BUT
As of today, I don't really hear the whine anymore. I just hear ALOT of air. Hard to explain. It just sounds like ALOT of air is being sucked in...
Oh and did I mention that it goes like a bat out of hell...

I bet nothing can't beat rolling up to some cars, dropping the hammer and they have the WTF look as how in the world can a "slow" "mature" E-Class pull away so hard and sound so mean. ![Wink](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)

It's all in the CAI, Needwings designed one for us with the filter out front. It not only made the supercharge whine more pronounce but dropped my 1/4 mile times by a half second.

Your car may have enough room for a design. I know he was r&d one for the SL55amg have to ask on the progress. He dyno'd at like 28 rwhp, i think the dyno's are on his website. I tell everyone these CAI are the only true cold air because of being in front of the radiator. You can see in my vid that I take off my grill (4 bolts) for more cold air. It has proven to shave a tenth off my time. If dyno's could show when the car is on a 1/4 mile pass it would show a bigger gain because of the increased air flow.
All my runs to date are on stock cooling, plugs, and exhaust.

The 6.0 V12 TT engine is insane and I saw pics of your car before and it's one evil looking monster that seems to be lurking in the shadows for lunch to come passing by and expecting to pull away, sadly for them they don't know what kind of setup you're packing.
Since the SC cars love the whine I wonder if the V12 TT boys can get some turbo whistle/spooling sounds out of their beasts.

Ahh I know you as well, I saw you in the C32 AMG section and on another SRT6 boards I believe. The SRT6 gets respect from me as I don't like many Chryslers/Dodges at all. You however got a car that was boosted and has more than formidable power out the factory. I love that everyone lies and underates the engines and power numbers. That whine is to die for and I recall hearing it out of the C32 with the Code 3 intake/filters. Will needswings ever make one for the 55K engine so everyone can smile when they romp on the throttle?

Nice set of links!
I do love the whine but what you have is even more insane as I love your car and it's setup. You have the stealth bombing torque that barely flexes and sweat and yet devours cars for snacks and belches it out of your exhaust pipes up back.
The 6.0 V12 TT engine is insane and I saw pics of your car before and it's one evil looking monster that seems to be lurking in the shadows for lunch to come passing by and expecting to pull away, sadly for them they don't know what kind of setup you're packing.

After straight pipe mod, you can indeed hear the wastegates opening & closing now @ slow speeds it is subtle I'm betting w/Cat delete it should be much more pronounced...

I'm betting the intake/airbox is causing this as I know thats what causes it for the C32 and aleksander1099's post confirmed it when he stated after he got his airbox it was louder. What I wonder is why some cars with airbox/intake mods don't sound like another one with it as it whines so loud.
From what I seen aleksander1099's and Sleeper X's cars sound so amazing similiar to a Cobra. I love the loud SC whine, What needs to be done to get that sound, just the airbox and intake or are there more mods needed? The airbox aleksander1099 has seems to be discountinued as the company site is down and it i've read that it was just metal wrapped in cf, not true cf. I believe Sleeper X has a Renntech Airbox, any reason why the VRP airbox doesn't help make it so loud and whine as the other 2 airboxes?

You can make your own intake with some aluminum tubing and a couple silicone hoses to achieve the same sound.
My intake has two cone filters compared to the drop in K&N's and I think that is what contributes to the sound.

I've read up on the ICE-Tuning intake but it seems like the company shutdown. I don't understand how the VRP Airbox doesn't get this sound, it seems like the Renntech airbox does get it since Sleeper X I believe runs Renntech mods which includes the Renntech filters/airbox.

i am thinking of doing a custom intake setup by replacing stock airbox with two 3" pipes, similar to vrp, except not to lead the pipes all the way to the front like vrp and just leave the filters in the same location as pictured above with all the fance CF. i want that whine!!!
