Will post video later but I've gotten my stock s/c to the point where it's louder than WOT with a catless borla x pipe and the npp fuse pulled! The tone is a much higher frequency than my wife's hellcat but it accents the exhaust nicely.

Well that's a big tease! I could do that too if I took the blower lid off... the devil's in the details. What are the details?

SGT_G

Yeah I know it's a tease haha. So I have the nx blower lid, mamos ported TB, BMS filter and I've pulled the rubber weather stripped seal as well as the hood liner off completely.

I can't figure out what you're trying to say here.

The supercharger is louder than the engine at WOT with the addition of a catless borla x pipe and the npp fuse pulled.

Don't discount that NX blower lid...I've heard it makes more of a difference than the other two items you referenced.

SGT_G

Yeah and combine all of them and that thing I screaming louder than the engine

Have you had an issues with the NX lid rubbing on the hood or problems with the hood itself due to heat/not having the liner? I am considering this mod, but not sure if I would need to buy a 2017+ hood liner.

SGT_G

I can't answer that as I have a 17' so it was a direct fit and removing the liner not only gave even more clearance but it enhance the sound a little bit more

fleming23

Still not sure how/why you think the exhaust is making the blower louder but whatever makes you happy behind the wheel.

Good good liners are generally there to help put out a fire in the engine. Engine Fire starts, hood liner melts off with FR in it to distinguish the flames. Take care if removing.

SGT_G

Not what I said but not gonna explain it again.

fleming23

That actually is exactly what you said. The supercharger is louder with an x pipe and the baffles open.

Anyway, enjoy your car. I think the blower lid has much less sound baffling inside and has been reported to result in a marginal increase in blower whine or noise.

SGT_G

I looked inside my 17' stock lid and there's no such increase. The nx lid is very thin compared to the stock one so it can be heard at all rpms with that on.

I just put the NX lid on my car. I have a 2016 and I had to get the 17+ liner. Corvettemods has a good price on them.

Hate to do this to you, but he said that its louder than the exhaust with the xpipe and baffles open. Not that it made it louder. He was making a comparison.

I have a tvs2300 coming (Maggie) and I'm wondering what things I can do to increase the noise. I hear they are quiet

I'll have a veraram on it, so it should be louder, but I want to really hear it. What are the drawbacks on removing the seal behind the cowl?

fleming23

I see how that could have been a misunderstanding on my part. My mistake.

The 2.3 is just as quiet inside the car as the stock blower, as an FYI.

spinkick

Damn! Everyone is trying to quiet everything down and I'm over here adding exhaust, induction and supercharger noises.

Wow, I'm so excited that I will post this sentence and then come back in a week or so.

So the NX lid DOES accentuate the blower whine??!!
