the growl turns into a roar! and it all depends on your exhuast set up but alot of the sound comes from the s/c

its a different sound more of a powerful roar than just the sound of air being sucked in.. instead f people saying sounds like your sucking in the whole world, they will say damn your engine sounds very strong

So true! I always get a good gathering of people when I pop open the hood and give it a few good revs. Those that stood the closest always tell me that they just feel the power! When I dynoed last fall everyone in the shop loved how much that sc'ed engine sounded.

no whine on SC maxima. probably the whine noise you heard on a mustang is from a root type blower.

aint that the truth, i had the v1, sounded like something mean and angry lot of bearing noise. the v2 has a slight whistle because of the belt
but it goes away after 3000rpms.

:o)

Why is it that I disagree with all of you guys? We have the same charger, same car. ?? I can only speak for the V2 but to me it is quiet. At idle, it sounds like a referee is ever so slightly blowing through his wistle. At rev, any exaust note over powers the sound of the SC.

i agree with you. the v2 is quiet but you still know its there by the slight belt noise. and yes it completely stops after you give it gas
