How do you guys here that much blower whine. The only time I hear our car is cruising at around 2K. Other than that, I hear the exhaust
I say keep the exhaust as of now.

Seems to me you should get the SC with the mods and see how well you like the whine...you can then make the decision to make the exhaust swaps if you need to hear more............

Put in sound-dampening mat in your car except at the firewall? This will make the exhaust a bit less loud inside the cabin without changing how loud the SC sounds. Another idea is a cowl hood which would make it easier to hear the SC.
The SC is more about the kick in the pants power than that the whine. That's just bonus. The Exhaust is your growl.

The exhaust is the Saleen/Magnaflow with a Bassani SS catted x-pipe.

Right now it has a 3.6. As soon as I am done with testing of our new heat exchanger the 3.4 is going on!!

RE: In a very frustrating dilemma right now...
I was the same way with the supercharger whine, I wanted to hear too. I have an O/R x w/o cats and it is really loud. I say keep the exhaust. Once you get that SC you might not care at that point. Have you all ever wondered about how the cobra's whine like a MF. Well them guys are running like 2.8 pulleys. I always wanted my car to sound like that but I'm not sure if the Series VI will handle it. What I would reccommend is a 3.2 pulley with the SC but make sure the fuel pump is changed to handle it. I have the 3.4 and I can just barely hear my SC over my exhaust. I think the 3.2 will whine that SC out a little more. I'm going from my 3.4 to a 3.2 probably this spring or summer. Good luck.....GOTTA HAVE THE EXHAUST SOUND....

True true, That too.

The reason the cobras whine so loud is due to the blower being a root style blower. Ours are twin screw and are much quieter.
