How I Made My C7 Z06 Supercharger WHINE Like Crazy!

In this video I will show you how to make your C7 Z06 supercharger whine much louder! This is a very easy 20 minute mod you can do by simply replacing the lid and taking off some things underneath the hood. Chevy tends to quiet down the supercharger by a lot by adding sound deadening inside the LT4 supercharger lid. By replacing the lid, you allow more air flow inside and removes the deadening ...

    That car has just the right amount of Tech in it.. I can't stand the newer cars out now with all the Ipad screens.. I rented a car a month ago and barely knew how to get the heat going or work the radio.. It's nuts.. I'm not young anymore so I never really cared for them turning our cars into PC's on wheels.. But it is what it is if you want the latest and great cars out.. Cars are soo fast these days too. When I was 16 we had the Foxbodys and the C4's.. We thought 225 to 350 HP was power back then.. It's crazy how much power people can get now straight from the factory.. Oh and LOL I like cars that kind of scare me too.. That's the best way to say it really, and I think that's why people love the manuals soo much.. When you have a manual with a lot of power it feels different and a little scary ever time.. It's not like a new 10 speeds where it's the same old thing Bah, bah, bah, bah, bang bang bang into gear.. You just mash the pedal and hold the wheel straight it kind of boring to me.. But don't get me wrong I know these auto's are nasty fast and that's why people love them. There's nothing touching these new DCT's but the Manuals are just soo much more fun to drive.

    Save The Manuals, Great Video.. And the car sounds great. I have a 17 Manual Coyote GT and didn't want to spend a ton on a Cat Back, So I went with an Xpipe and an Axle back and my car sounds great now.. And nothing is cheap on any of these cars out these days.. My God they wanted like $1,800 to 3,000 for a Cat back. Car parts are next level when it comes to the cost on these things.. Oh and I have the Infamous MT82 so I know all about that notchy feeling in the gears.. But I managed to find a decent trans fluid for my Gearbox and did a few cheap supporting Mods around it. And now she feels butter smooth once she's all the way warmed up. I'm sure there's ways to smooth yours out too. But anyway great car and great video.. Oh yeah and I couldn't imagine having a seventh gear, i'm always hanging out in 5th as it is.. LOL..
