E-Force video and sound
Several folks asked what the E-Force sounds like.... Here are 2 vids that give you some idea. This unit is very quiet compared to most units. If you are looking for lots of loud SC type noises this isn't the one to get.
For some reason it's made my Corsa exhaust appreciably louder.... It's not my imagination either because the first thing my buddy said was.. .. "Oh you changed the exhaust"... No idea why that would be but it really barks when you stomp on it..... The car is stock except for the exhaust and E-Force...
On the street it would be extremely hard to realize there is a super charger under there..... rather stealth which I like...

The car is not under a load......so reving it up standing still is not going to produce much of a whine.....I bet going down the road, under boost it sounds different. My Maggie sure does!

I was also there for all the dnyo pulls right to 6500 and there was very little noise from the unit.....
I'll try a couple full throttle passes and record them.... Assuming I can get any traction...
thanks for the input!

For what it's worth, I can hear subtle blower whine on my e-forced LS-2 under load. I have stock non-NPP exhaust still on the car, no headers.

.. yes there is SC whine but it's extremely quiet compared to most other units. My Corsa Sports are pretty loud now so I'm sure that's helping to cover up some of the noise...

Yeah that was my only point - on an otherwise stock car with non-NPP exhaust, there is a very subtle supercharger whine but it isn't loud at all. Quiet enough that I suspect many people with modified exhaust systems would not hear the supercharger under load on their own cars.
