Supercharger sound without aftermarket intake?

[Rez4]

Hi everyone,

I wouldn't mind allowing a little bit of supercharger sound out, is this possible without actually replacing the stock airbox? I would like to hear the charger a bit and still be OEM-ish.

Thanks!

Sure replace the intake pipe from air box to TB it has a muffler of sorts in it and replace stock paper filter with something like the AWE filter. If you want a little more you can dremel out a baffle out of the inlet to the oem air box, not sure that makes much of a different though.

I dont think so, but oemish could be had with the APR intake, i think i remember readin that there was still some whine with their intake. I could be mistaken

I found a slight increase in the SC whine by just changing to the AWE S-FLO system. the new lid fits on the OE stock airbox and I suspect the thinness of the CF lid allows for a little more SC sound out.

Did you leave it like the bottom picture or did you install the top cover again like the top photo?

[Bikel]

it is like the top photo with the top cover installed. I was just showing how I cut the stock scoop to modify it to the s-flo system. maybe moot here... but I felt it would only help pick up airflow from the front grill.

Your best bet is replacing the tube (however, that may be too drastic, idk) and/or cutting holes into the air intake box.

IF you want an OEM style/look and more sound (but the sound will probably be very weak still).

[nomnomguy970]

Changing which part causes the most increase in sound. Would flat out removing/ cutting the top of the airbox increase sound

Yeah they are not that expensive in relation to what you paid for the car.
