thats awesome, it would be cool if you could make a video so we can hear the sound, the drone also bugs me form time to time. furthermore i heard that this kit has a rattle noise to it and thats normal. can you still hear it inside the cabin.

Kit is silent. Absolutely no rattle. The exhaust noise inside is close to stock until I get on it.

I will try to get video when I can.

I apologize for my lack of skills with the camera. I had to take the car to Tim yesterday and picked it up today. I have family flying in tomorrow for my wife's and daughter's birthdays. They are on back to back days. If I can sneak off I will post video. There were 2 other Camaro5 members there. Brian and PatrickMD. Brian, who has a maggied camaro with a 3 inch exhaust, has a real issue with drone. He said his sixth gear is unusable. We did a test drive in my camaro and he was amazed. Car is silent inside. If I really get on it you hear the exhaust. But then you have other issues to pay attention to, like the rear end coming around.

Please be very careful in high speed not loose the rear end. It's very dangerous, since the front will shift so fast before you know it. A friend almost lost his life when the boost hit at 70 MPH and the rear went to one side and he lost control. It fun to spin tires in low speed, but these S/C can be dangerous, because the TQ comes on so strong. I hated my Paxton because it had no low-end TQ and I loved it because I couldn't get in trouble

Yep. I noticed the amazing power in Kyles SS. At 70, that car just took off like it weighed nothing.

No worries, I was just making a joke. The car is extremely stable. I have a Pedder's suspension and I have added BMR trailing arms and toe rods. I don't drive recklessly. The nice thing about the whipple is that it is quiet, but it does make a distinct sound when the boost bypass valve closes. So it doesn't surprise you as much. But hey any car making 650+ will punish you if you get complacent.

It`s a must in my opinion, I have one just need to install it along w/ a bunch of other stuff...Lol..

94guy · 10-08-2010, 07:21 AM

do you know the routing for it? i was going to go from the driver side valve cover to the can then from the can to the blower?

usmcjlp · 10-08-2010, 08:24 AM

I have the elite oil catch can. We were able to fit it in the recommended location underneath the oil reservoir for the whipple.

94guy · 10-08-2010, 11:13 AM

do you have a pic or instructions on the routing of the hoses?
