Supercharger whine, or exhaust note?
Well, I put an offroad H pipe on at the same time as we did the supercharger and I could only hear the whine if the car drove past me, which never happens... LOL
With the H pipe my car was really loud, too loud for me anyway, and drew more attention to me than I cared for. So we put the stock pipes back on and wow, I LOVE THE WHINE. I can hear it from the drivers seat under moderate throttle.
I am happier now

Yep, whine.. whine is good. I'll take whine over exhaust. Hell, I had so many compliments on the car's exhaust when it was stock. Some folks go overboard on the loud exhaust. There's a fine line between sounding good and just being obnoxious IMO.

Obnoxious is exactly how I described it, just wasn't for me.

Anyway, estimated guess from what I have heard should be pretty close to 500 at crank, 410-420 wrhp. Probably won't know now until Brenspeed has their dynoday that is usually in the spring. Can't wait to see for sure, I wanted a nice safe number under the supposed 450 rwhp safe zone. Boost only runs about 7.

No numbers yet, and Brenspeed who I live close to has their dyno down I believe. They have moved to a temp location until new building is done.
