Forced Induction Poll -- Sleeper, Noticeable or Fear Me

Just curious to see people's thoughts out there on Forced Induction.

Which kind of sound do you prefer from an FI system?

Here's the sound i'm going for: 4 cats tied together by their tails getting thrown around the inside of a Jet Turbine.

I use to be a sleeper kinda guy but got tired of everyone asking me if the car was gonna break out of the 13's. It still looks sleeperish.

I'd say the new cam/tune/engine build/Borla exhaust makes the largest contribution to that sweet sound vs the SC. But man, when I get on it that baby winds up and sounds freakin great.

Was going for sleeper. Ended up with fear me, but only when you get into it. The rest of the time it just sounds like a cammed Camaro. No way to hide turbos under full throttle.

While I prefer the Sleeper, Brandi is going to be forced to announce her presence to a few, usually by showing her ass to them if they get rambunctious.... She is running, and still in the hands of my builder, being broken in and tuned to the n'th... I get her back in two less than two weeks when I get back stateside...

It's hard to keep the Twins and the three inch exhaust quiet for long...
