Default Gear Drive

I love the sound of noisy gears drives. Has anyone installed on in a C5? Is it possible? Thanks, Kaley

Nobody makes one for the C5. Even if they did, it would cause tons of false knock and the pcm would pull timing.

Personally, I've never understood why people want a noisy gear drive. If you want to sound like a blower, buy a blower.
