I always heard the SQ trim is a little more efficent but who knows. My SQ is pretty loud, you can deffinatley hear it.

Hah, the v1 sounds like a frickin jet compared to the v2 SQ. I get LOTS of people staring at my car. Most of them have no idea what the hell is under my hood

My t-trim is very loud outside the car but with the radio on I dont really notice it inside the cabin, and not at all when the top is down unless at a stop.
Certainly noticeable to everyone else. As if a bright red mustang convertible needed anything else for people to look at

what's the difference between the s trim and the v? how much more is the v?
the S trim and V are the same unit. V1 = loud version, V2 = quiet version.
i had both and the V1 drove me nuts after awhile. i switched to the somewhat quieter V2.

V2-SQ is perfect. Its plenty noticeable but nowhere near annoying. People still give me the "WTF is that" look.
Oh, and unless you plan on a built bottom end in the future, both units will produce more power than your stock short block is capable of handling.

My tuner had it running lean, it's probably around 390-400 now that I've richened it up a little. The Power pipe helps, and the FMIC keeps the IAT's down so I can pull more timing.

I hope i can make those numbers! I've got the same mods as you with the addition of the lt headers so i got my hopes up

The S trim is pretty noisy, the SQ on the other hand is really, really quiet as far as blowers go. With a pulley it's quite a bit louder, but still very quiet. The SQ on average makes a bit more power, and is slightly more efficient.

Oh but I bet its SOOO fun to pull up the light next to another modded stang with that S trim whistling away and seeing the guys face as he looks over and sees your car and you going .
Man I love putting fear into people hearts and I know I would enjoy the heck out of driving around an S trimmed car!
But since my cars exhaust is very quiet AND you cant hear my turbos at idle or durring cruize or by just tapping the gas, I get my kicks by going into boost just before I pass by someone in fast car and letting the BOV sound off (VERY LOUD) , right into their window . Oddly enough 95%+ of the peeps back way off and wont pull beside me anymore though

well turns out modular powerhouse sent me the sq trim instead of the s trim i ordered, i guess i could complain but hell i think its cooler now that its a sleeper plus i guess im getting more power out of it since supposedly it outflows the s trim
Anyway mine is pretty quit, you can hear it at idle and up to about 2500 rpms you can hear a whistle but after that my exhaust covers up any sound from the s/c

I heard a turbo 5.0 getting dyno'd at PSI last time i was there and holy ****
that thing sounded sooooooooooooooo awesome with the BOV, it shook your entire body standing next to it when that BOV went off!i dont believe the v2 necessarily means quiet version. i may be wrong but i did have a blower on my car when i bought it that was the loud strim and it had v2 stamped on the casing. later on when i went with another blower a v1 strim it was just as loud but again had v1 on the case.
