if you search on SL, you will find a bunch of threads talking about the supposed "chips" from eBay. They either, dont do anything or mess up your engine because your running pig rich. From what Ive read, its not something you necessarily want to put on your car, although having it on for a few runs prob wont do anything bad. It will prob be similar to having an o2 sensor being bad and the car running rich.

a turbo muffler should get rid of that problem.. and a full exhaust system. at least 3" thick. it sounded like a high performance car running stock exhaust.. it tride to jump out but exploded inside your muffler.

3" would be over kill for the Supercharger. a full 2.5 exhaust would be plenty... actually 3" would only HURT the performance.

Dashon,

That noise you heard was just a sonic boom. It is caused when of your car, equipped with a super charger breaks the sound barrier. Not too much to worry about, you just need to be careful where you do it. Sonic Booms in residential areas tend to be highly frowned upon by local authorities.
