ZZebes Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 alright honestly how loud is the radix under normal driving conditions like 0-3000 rpms. is it noticable that it even exists. now i am talking the stock pulley not the 2.9 or 3.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnblwzd Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 It is mostly noticable when you put your foot in it. More pedal = more noise, so when you floor it, it sounds like a fire truck siren. Just cruising around, you can hear a little whine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krambo Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Honestly, Mine is quiet. It needs to be under increasing boost conditions for me to hear it. With my exhaust, its barely noticeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PladdPezzPunk Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 mines silent when i'm driving reasonably. when i hit it, it will over power my exhaust and can be heard a mile away, even with the music turned up full blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSThunder Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 The radix won't make any noise till you get into boost for the most part. After I installed the radix it was very noticable, now not so much but I can still hear it under boost. I've gotten use to it I guess.

dcairns Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Mine seems silent until it reaches boost, then it gets that lovely supercharger whine, but not too loud. The only bad sounds it makes are a squealing sound as the bypass valve closes (as it transitions from NA to Boost). It can be annoying if you are going up a hill and the throttle position needed lands in the squeal zone. The other noise is the fuel pump. I don't recall if the stock fuel pump made any sound or not, but the extra fuel pump that is installed with the radix (this is for older SS's with external fuel pumps). But you can only hear that when outside the truck. Oh, yeah, almost forgot, there is that screaming sound your wallet makes when you buy the Radix, but that goes away pretty quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmergencyVP1 Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 It is mostly noticable when you put your foot in it. More pedal = more noise, so when you floor it, it sounds like a fire truck siren. Just cruising around, you can hear a little whine. My buddy and I were out one night about a month ago in his F250 diesel, windows rolled up and heater full blast. Now I know it's a different setup, but we had a rousch mustang come up from behind us getting on it, and my buddy actually started to pull over. This guy was about 6-10 car lengths behind us when he got on it...Different vehicle, but pretty much the same style of supercharger..We actually thought it was a squad car....sounded very nice....

eamonnschevy Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 To be honest driving thru town in traffic it just sounds like a nice sounding truck (Corsa Touring exhaust) but when i get on the loud pedal a DIFFERENT Story!!! sounds like all hell breaking loose, small children start crying women run for their lives and guys duck for cover...AWESOME is the word and i Love it... The only problem with Supercharged Trucks is they can get you out of a whole lot of trouble or in a whole lot more.. depending when you hit it hard on the gas.....
