Loud? Seriously the noise must be subjective to a Lexus driver or something. I have full stock exhaust and no one (including cops) knows when I gun it aside from the rotrex supercharger whine. The noise is only from the front coming head on to someone and even then the E92 M3 I surprised on the way to work didn't know until he did the ricer fly by on me (he saw my intercooler).

People do not hear the belt whine - just the supercharger whine. Sure there is some belt noise when idle but I have a simple stereo (stock with Oem Audio Plus) that drowns that out - plus the crickets have come back with a vengeance and still are louder than the belt whine.

People (usually people on the internet) say there's a lot of belt noise, but I can't hear anything even when standing in front of the car.

I don't hear belt noise - just the sweet sweet whine of the SC and that is only at spool. I played with the belt tension to get it silent during idle.

I love the jet engine sound when you got on this thing. It's awesome when you see people walking 50 yards in front of you turn around wondering what the F is coming at them

. At idle I don't hear anything.

glamcem · 11-02-2014, 05:52 PM

exactly, it's music to my ears

I always loved the supercharger whine and since it's not obnoxiously loud or anything it doesn't bother me at all ..the amount of the noise on the internet (misinformation in this case) is way bigger than the actual noise from the belt

Model Citizen · 11-02-2014, 06:00 PM

i get a lot of comments on the noise from people working the course at autox days

kbogarto · 11-04-2014, 10:29 PM

Can you hear the bypass valve from inside the vehicle?

nlowell · 11-04-2014, 11:01 PM

Yes. For me it's mainly a flutter I hear when I let off in the higher RPMs.

I also have a loud spraying sound at partial throttle at 5k+ but I think that is something with my tune and VVT that I need Bill to work out. It's too loud to be the bypass I think.

No teasers yet on an exhaust. =D Still working on a few different options and focusing on the CARB certification for the kit currently.

Has the car been dropped off at the test facility yet? Is there a timeframe for when the application was submitted and when you expect to be certified?
