Do you guys have gen1, or 2 Whipples? From what I am getting from similar threads is that the gen 2 Whipples are a lot quieter than the gen 1 version, probably because the gen 2 has a more efficient rotor design. I personally have a gen1, but haven't finished putting the car back together yet to hear what it sounds like, so this thread intrigues me. I recently removed a Stage 5 Eaton with a ported Dragon setup, and it screamed! I also found that the choice of belt makes a difference too. It had more of a Procharger type whine when I switched to a Gates belt from a Gatorback.

Mine's a Gen II..

I've got a Dayco ribbed belt (*not the PolyCog belt), the Dayco PolyCog belts are wicked loud..

I cant hear my eaton over the exhaust at all. However, when Im WOT I can hear a MASSIVE whooshing sound from all the air being sucked in.
