Want more whine!!

I literally have the entire front of the car off of it right now because I wanted to do a major overhaul being the car has 112k miles on it. Im installing a 15% pulley and I was wondering what other mods help get that full supercharger sound out of it. I know alta intake but what else? is there better supercharger piping I can get? Better hard piping? Take the insulation off the hood? What!!!!

It will be tough to increase that noise without increasing over all engine noise or road noise too. How do you feel about those noises?

If it is noise you want then you should invest in a Lysholm SC. That should get everyone's attention as well as the cops.

Get a 17% pulley and a k&n pipe intake. I have both and it's much louder than my friend's 15% and plasti tube intake system.

I make aluminum intakes for the R53 that really scream, I just haven't posted them online. Similar to most cold air intakes but are aluminum pipe with 3" pipe.

The extra pipe size and material REALLY screams.

Mini engine bays are really tight.

Buy some aluminum pipe and TIG weld them and bungs into place.
