I am looking at the basic kits that vortech and paxton offer, the sc-trim from vortech and the novi 1000 from paxton. My question is which one is quieter? I am looking for the supercharger not to be noisy because I don't want everyone to know it's there and also don't feel like listening to it to loudly, lol. So anyones opinions and hopefully first-hand experienced knowledge will help. Thanks guys. :SNSign:

There was a thread just a few days ago about the same thing, The novi1000 is quieter because it has helicut gears and the vortec sc has straight cut gears.

I personlly had a sc-trim last year, here is what I posted on the other tread.


I had the v-1 SC trim on my 88lx. I too bought it because of how loud the whine is.

Thought it was a great add to the car, helped performance out alot.

It is only loud at idle, once you get to 2000rpms you can't hear it anymore.

It would sometime get to me while sitting in traffic. Alot of stop and go traffic lights, that whine could drive a normal man crazy.

On a positive note, I can say that the whole time I had the vortec the rice-burners wouldn't bother me.

If you get tired of every honda retard at a stoplight reving his engine to get you to race him. Than the vortec is for you.

Emagine: You are pulling up to a stoplight and you see a ricer in the next lane.

He is saying to his buddy :alright look at this looser in the mustang coming:

Just than you pull next to him and everything in normal, Until your car's idle starts to drop from stopping.

Now he hear the whine coming from the hood and know what it is right away.
He may not know what your car can do but he will reconize the sound, and suddenly the guy who thought about reving his engine at you will think twice.

thanks everyone for your replies so far. i figured the vortech was probably louder. i know the have the sq version, but that is on the s-trim and it gets a little more expensive. not sure my budget can go that far yet. anyway, does anyone have any videos or soundclips they could post?
