Is there a point to put CAI, Headers in if you're plannin on super charging or turbo?

[Lingerie_Ripper]

I heard the turbo engine or the super charger come along with their own headers and intake. So buying a CAI, and headers if you are plannin for turbo is stupid. and also does turbo and super chargers work with autos, i mean do you still hear that PFFFT sound?

Yes turbos come with their own intake system, and header (downpipe) and yes they will work with autos and still make the "pfffft" sound, that's the blow off valve you hear of course.

With a SuperCharger you still need headers and intake. Not that you couldnt use you stock ones, but upgrading will help. The charger mounts where you intake manifold is currently at. you get no "PFFFF" sound, but u do get a "forced induction" sound. Kinda like what the AEM CAI does in idle, but a little louder and higher. Its pretty intimidating.

and its one bad ass whine.......

you know what it almost sounds like. in ghostbusters when they turn on the proton packs. kind of a wierd comparison but close.

Well should i get a supercharger instead of a turbo since i already have a CAI?

Well you should really decide what you want. You shouldn't base your decision based on if you already have a CAI because you could always sell it. You could always sell the CAI right? Say you decide to go with a SC because you already have a CAI, but you realize its not what you wanted, or its not what you needed. Then that wouldn't be good right? Your decision should not be based on if you already have the CAI.

Buh Buh is right, don't base your decision about your $3000+ performance upgrade on a $200 upgrade that you already have.

i love the sound of that whine of the sc. but i also love the sound of the PFFT of a turboed car. that's the only reason you get one, either for a whining hum of the supercharger or the PFFFT of the turbo blow off valve. actually i think it's more of a PSSSHH sound. who needs speed when you can listen to the blowers all day long?

Actually actual sounds go as follow:

Turbo is more of a PSSSHHHHHH-SHA.......u see all the extra s's and the "a" in the back?

SuperCharger is WHOOWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! (Notice the draggin of the "a"s cause the noise is costant through acceleration.

To me, i prefer the Super Charger noise cause it can be heard all the time while accelerating, while as the turbo only when the gas is let of or while the turbo is spooling.

Tune in next time as whe explore the sounds of a cat-back exaust next to a universal muffler as well as screw driver holes in stock mufflers.
