Keeping my blown GT a sleeper.
How quiet are vortech blowers? I am seriously considering getting one this summer, but i don't want it to be an announcement when i pull up to a light or am cruising. If it is noticeable, what can you do to quiet it down? Can you dynomat the hood or something or will that trap heat? thanks for any suggestions.
I'm with you,, I like silent power better.

I had no preferrence when I bought mine. You can definatly here my procharger whistle... I've heard the s-trim its pretty damn loud too. The sq is supposed to be a lot quieter and it is, but I still dont think you're going to get the 100% sleeper you're looking for.

if you just cruizing or coasting to a light you shouldnt be able to hear it but if you romp on it you will hear it theres really no way around it

you can hear it whine from the front of the car, but the back all you hear is exhuast... at idle, it whistles... even the SQ does... you cant hide that... but most people dont know what it is..
