I found the cheapest way to increase supercharger whine

Then why post your intake if you never drove the carin the rain,that was pointless !
The intake filters we to small anyways on that setup will cause no gains or would looose some too.The cfm on them are far less then stock
To the o.p who posted your thread ,Stick with the stovk airbox with drop in unless you biuy a need wings as mentioned ..

you drive a AMG not a honda sorry. you want the supercharger to whine. go spend the money and get yourself a clutch-less pulley. don't ghetto rig the sounds.

No wonder all the big names like eurocharged have completely gotten away from them

If Shardul were to go away, he would be missed. If this thread and some of the posters went away, well not so much. . Flame suit not necessary, don't care.

Haters gonna hate if you like it that's all that matters.
this is not a honda, so you cant figure things out yourself you should just spend $500 on an intake like everyone else.

Did a test on this a few months ago. With the hood open, the exposed open air filter made similar power as the stock intake with all plumbing. With the hood closed, the open air filter lost 25-35 wheel horsepower throughout the power band.
The stock intake is designed well. Just put some high flow filters in there and call it a day unless you want to sacrifice huge power for supercharger noise.

This blower is not really loud type roots are fairly quiet..Only to get loud volume is to run a filter on the tb direct or get a real supercharger aka whipple from weistec and make your car areal beast

I hope to get a video of the sound mine makes this weekend after the track. When i went into the supercharger we did some work here and there and a little welding and it really came alive...sound wise. Strangely it was louder with a 84 pulley than a 77 just a little more "pitch" to the 77.
I love that sound and we get some very serious Shelby Mustangs that are modified at the dealer that REALLY scream under boost. Great sound !!!

all you need is the clutch-less pulley and you will be very happy with the sound coming from the engine bay. it is very obvious when that set up

I know this is a really old thread, but did removing this seal cause and unwanted water to enter the engine bay? I’m looking to make the blower louder on my sl55, never gets driven in the rain, just curious about when spraying at the car wash. Thanks!
