I'm not sure what you guys are complaining about - you wanna see a supercharged IS? Well, that's what a supercharger sounds like. You can't really catch the low-end sounds because the microphones on camcorders and such don't capture this range. I like it - I wish I had a supercharger on my car!!!

This car sounds good, but is it dyno proven?(inside joke)

Turbo spooling and sucking in air sound is very different to a supercharger belt whine. It is supercharged.

I don't get why half of you are complaining, it sounds mean in person. Just because it doesn't sing like a bird, doesn't mean it's crap. Wow, what a bunch of haters...

I didn't mean to "complain" about the sound, and I'm sure it sounds different in person. It just doesn't sound like any aftermarket SC I've ever heard (in person or not). I just think that the video makes it sound like something is REALLY wrong with the car.

The SC noise sounds a bit like that of my supercharged GS... he's obviously got a blow off valve in the setup (BOV, as do I) which makes a lot of that noise when he's off the throttle.

Nice video, thanks for posting the link Xelvic!

i never said anything was wrong with it. i don't think any of us meant that anything was wrong. it's just that the sound throws us off for a bit. i wonder how much $$$ it was and the real dyno numbers... 430hp must be crank? so what is the rwhp?

Boosting 400hp from a high compression engine on stock internals?? DDquach gets props for being a pioneer with *****. Ahhh, potential of it all.

If it's adding a 135 bhp, it should have over 440 bhp, right? So why does it say 400 hp? ... Or did it say "over 400 hp"...?

IIRC, the guys who have the LMS supercharger are getting ~30-40 more rwhp, which probably translates into about 350-360 bhp at the crank.

I envy the spirit of driving and shifting at high RPM (according to the video). My mental is not allowed it to do so.... (my mental = my wife )

No matter that is a real hp+++ gain job or just a wannbe mod... thanks for the vedio clip!

So do we know who is making this SC and how long it will be before its done? I wonder how much it will cost?
