I am getting ready to get a whipple installed on my ss and am looking for feedback on how much they whine . A maggie with a cog drive is not an option. And as I am sure it will be asked, I do prefer to have whine and a final goal of about 680-700 rwhp. A maggie with a cog drive is not an option. SO I have seen dozens of youtube vids of whipples on the dyno but none on the street under load and cannot really tell how much whine they have. I just want to be sure this is what I want before I put my down payment to the great ted jannety.

There is not much whine at all. All you will hear, is your exhaust.

10aSSee D · 03-21-2012, 10:57 AM

Can't hear mine over the exhaust, but you will hear a little whistle as you get on it from the bypass. I love my whipple!!!

Wish i knew that saturday when you dopped it off for the cam. I was picking up mine. As everyone has said the whipple is kind of quiet.

Not much whine...it's there but very subtle.

MA2010SS · 03-21-2012, 11:44 AM

Whipple is very quiet, with the hood closed at idle know one even knows there is anything there, WOT slight whistle as mentioned above

jcollins91106 · 03-21-2012, 11:52 AM

Thanks guys! The thing is I really dont want or need a sleeper and the first time I hearda rotts with a cog drive on a c5 it took me back to my 86 iroc with a weiand days! I guess I can live with little to no whine. I have heard nothing but great things about the whipple so its really worth it in the long run for me.

Yea, I was still on the fence about the blower then but...after I got the cam in I have been craving more! It's truly a disease...it all starts with one little intake and before you know it you have a 700 hp monster!

HulkSS · 03-21-2012, 12:01 PM

I think the kenne bell has a pretty good whine to it. I love how mine sounds.

The thing is for me, and I know im about to be flamed for saying this,but If I am going to have a blower that whines, I WANT ONE THAT REALLY WHINES! The cogged maggie sounds perfect but there are some other issues there, that would take this thread in a whole nother direction. I had a chance to hear a KB at jannety and it whines but nothing like they do on a 4.6 mustang.

Whipple has more of a whistle and the the s/c whine, if you have a CAI it intensifies the sound, besides making 700rwhp is easy just add a cam and long tubes with a good tune, the whipple is one of the most efficient s/c and keeps the temps low

Zman12 · 03-21-2012, 08:16 PM

Agreed very quiet, nothing compared to my ported eaton on my 04 cobra. I still miss that sound!

Hate to tell you but it doesn't stop at 700.....

Not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

It's the perfect SC for a sleeper. I love mine. most cars that pull up to me at a stoplight think I'm stock. Untill there in my rear view mirror.
