How-To: Make Your 03/04 Cobra Blower Whine Louder

[Silver Serpent]

This thread is for people or newcomers to the site who wonder how to make their blower whine louder from a bone stock Cobra which the whine is very soft when you get on it...

1. Cold Air-Intake.
2. Remove the hood blanket fully.

If you have a loud exhaust, the whine tends to become softer due to being outdroned by the exhaust. So now you will need to do this:

3. Upper and/or Lower Pulley
4. Port the supercharger

cog belt system ~ which has its positive and negative aspects

 

[Silver Serpent]

Cog system works too. However, I've heard it in person and instead of it sounding like a regular supercharger whine, when he start up the car it sounded like the car was broken and had engine problems with that annoying squeel.

upper and lower pullies does the trick at idle blower whines sorta like vortech ;-)

2. Remove the hood blanket fully.

for some reason, that really does make a difference as well as the flaps.

isnt it dangerous to totally remove the blanket? I heard it could heat up the hood so much, that it would bubble the paint.

sounds a lil dangerous to me

 

[Silver Serpent]

No. It's perfectly fine. I've had it off for 5,000+ miles with no problem and I know people who have had them off for 20,000+ miles and no sign of any damage at all. All the heat gets extracted from the vents.

It isn't going to do anything to the hood because the paint is almost literally baked onto the hood from the factory.

I'm thinking about opening the vents up in the hood, but i don't want to because if it statrs to rain with them open...

No water gets in! I've been washing my car with no hood blanket and the flaps completely open for god knows how long now. :rockon:

That's good to hear! But... how does water not get in.... Like I know that when the vents are on... they are a little open, so some water has to get in....

 

[RUgoinup?]

I don't know how the water stays out, but mine are off, and no water gets into mine either. :shrug:

 

[Thrust]

It is really not that big of a deal. Water gets in if you drive through a puddle. Just go ahead and remove them. You shouldn't be driving your car in the rain anyway.

Ya mine are off to...NO water......hell I just cut the flaps off!! :thumbsup:




But like stated above I NEVER drive my car in the rain!!

even if the water does go in, the slits on the hood are lined up behind the radiator so if water does go in, it wont damage anything. as long as water doesnt touch the alternator, battery or other important wires, you should be fine IMO
