Sweet! I love the supercharger whine of the 1st gen! My R55S may be efficient but the engine sound is quite dull compared to the '06 R53 I had!

Yeah I love the "whine", its even louder with my intake on it. My next mods I'm planning on is the 17% pulley and exhaust. But still debating what to do with the exhaust.

Any specific recommendations? I'd settle for the thing not to sound like a sewing machine. My old R53 had a nice raspy note even excluding the supercharger. The R55 just .,, whistles, don't know how else to describe it!

That I can't help you with lol R53 yes but not a second gen intake. Search on the second gen threads for information on that.

And this whistling, does the car sound like this going down the road?
