Default Too quiet...

What have owners done to allow the supercharger to make some noise. This is a must IMO for an SC motor to sound like an SC motor

Get rid of the sticker and get an aftermarket and have the gears cut.

Switch to a centrifugal, anything coming from the factory is tuned to not make extra noise

Sorry!! Not sticker . Lol. Meant the stock charger. And yes the gears in the aftermarket can be cut to your liking if you want more noise. That whistle does sound sweet!!!

A simple CAI swap will open up some more blower noise assuming we are talking LT4 here. Pulley swap will lead to more blower sounds as well
