It wasnt that bad. You dont really hear it in the cabin, at least in my civic SI. But when its in idle, it definetley whistles and whines at you. can mostly be heard from outside the car. But damn they sound so good when you rev up! sounds a lot better and more aggressive than a turbo whistle IMHO :burnrubber:

I've had roots blowers on two different cars in the past and really loved the whine from them. I don't know anyone with a vortech SC, so I haven't heard one up close. Seems to have a fluctuating whistle at idle on most videos that I'm not sure I'd like. Would you say it's a sound that's better in person?

yes it is much better in person! I have had one.

Hey guys, there was not a car at the show, but our staff was there walking around giving out flyers with a sneak peek photo. Pretty much every FR-S/BRZ owner at the event should have walked back to their car to find something like this...
