Well dammm

God I feel old...

but hey.. Bubb Rubb & Lil Sis approved. Absolute classic.

The best part of this is that when he drives away he drives into the opposite lane, runs a stop sign, and almost t-bones somebody.

An intake that would make a sound like this possible would be worth a few hundred in my opinion even if no power gain.

Is that just an intake or does it also have an aftermarket SC lid? I know both the DSX and MPI lids allow for a substantial increase in SC whine over stock.

I remember watching this when it first came out. I laughed so hard at that dude with the WOOO WOOOOOOO and it's still hilarious.

Hol up. Wait a minute. Did you put the mic right on the SC? I want this sound coming from my car

 

[1Evil55]

Please elaborate

Probably the Tornado intake?

underhood mike, having it inside its too quiet, and having it on the rear the exhaust is way too loud to capture any quality audio.

It sounds so beautiful. I wish it sounded half that good inside

We just installed the s&b on our escalade v. I'm glad we did and def. some noise added and it's a quality piece, but nowhere near the night and day as my trx. Probably a good thing for my wife in the long run but I wouldn't have turned down more whistle

We are twins. I have a 5BW and a TRX too. I put an AFE on my TRX and it was an improvement on the SC whine. Would be nice for the blackwing to be a little louder.

I'm sure the one that S&B designs is going to sound good.

K&N has one they've been working on, it was also at SEMA last year. However, at this moment I have lost contact with everyone there and it appears maybe testing has halted. I have a hunch K&N could not reliably produce more power (which they always want to show) using their intakes instead of the stock one.

I recall an interview with Mrza and another one of the V-Club TechTalks that the Caddy group was painstaking in their approach to Airbox and exhaust design.

I think, as the aftermarket is discovering, the stock Airbox is really, really good.

The fact that GM prioritized performance and driving enjoyment is why I love this car so much. My only nit-pick would be the investment to reduce "unwanted" noises without connecting the level of ANC to the drive modes or otherwise making it adjustable to driver preference. Sometimes I want all the intake, exhaust, and SC noise. Aftermarket intake and exhausts are nothing more than a pay-to-play for the privilege of more noise.
