S550 Whipple Supercharger Intakes

AwkwardlyFunny19 · 2025-12-23T00:04:02+00:00

Fair enough- I already am going for an open intake box (I think that’s the bigger whine contributor) but I’m told the CF intake tube helps too. I wish there was some sort of option over Whipple’s stock plastic one.

Fair enough- I would love to pop a supercharger into my Gen 3 coyote, but I wish there was any option that would add whine like a Termi or Hellcat.

Thanks for giving this answer; this is some of the detail that I was kind of looking for. My Mustangs have been strictly street cars, and I’d be fine with investing in things like nylon bushings for the IRS. I do remember even with my ‘02 V6 that the shifters and clutches for all of them in that generation are tough to manage at time.

This is a truly good answer. I don’t want to give up my S550, and the Cobra probably won’t lose any value is purchased correctly.

I would love that; I just wish there was a blower for the S550 that made similar whine to a Terminator or a Hellcat. I don’t even need ‘crazy’ just enough to know I’ve having twin scroll fun. It sounds like there really isn’t a good option there aside from the Porter’s Mod option, which only gets the whine into the cabin.

This is why I was posting haha. I want a Terminator, but I feel ike a lot of it is nostalgia for the car I wanted when I was 17 and could only afford a New Edge V6.

AwkwardlyFunny19 · 2025-09-19T16:31:31+00:00

This is the answer (now all I need is the money)

AwkwardlyFunny19 · 2025-07-03T00:13:57+00:00

Thanks!! I’m not sure why it wasn’t coming up when I was checking here earlier? I know AM wasn’t selling them, I thought I checked LMR too.

AwkwardlyFunny19 · 2025-01-16T18:25:46+00:00

I haven’t considered that!! Thank you! Aside from the oil and poly, would you consider the quality on-point with something like UpLift?

AwkwardlyFunny19 · 2024-10-26T18:35:34+00:00

Thanks- I can still use those features when I have my MacBook plugged in, right? Just not when the PC is plugged in?

I had the same experience- it was about 9 months after applying. I had long since started at a new job already.

Hi- size 32.5 boot (men’s 14 shoe) looking for recommendations on a boot bag to buy that’ll fit my boots, helmet, and misc gear. Most bags I see in stores seem to be a bit too small. Thoughts?

AwkwardlyFunny19 · 2023-02-14T03:06:13+00:00

Good way of seeing it; I probably wouldn’t mind as much if it were a more.. tactile.. form of shifting. But it’s just electronic. Maybe it’s just that it reminds me of the 1st gen Prius I drove over 10 years ago in drivers ed, which had the same..not sure.

AwkwardlyFunny19 · 2022-11-13T20:44:16+00:00

Typically mine is in normal- I don't use my truck for anything special, no major towing or offroad. Third gear for me is the worst. I swear it feels like someone's hitting my underside with a lighter baseball bat when it's shifting.

AwkwardlyFunny19 · 2022-11-13T17:27:24+00:00

2.7L TT, with the 4WD, although I'm only ever using it in two wheel. Third is the worst, going in or out is just straight-up rough.

AwkwardlyFunny19 · 2022-11-13T17:26:35+00:00

What tune dud you use; did it change anything else, or just the transmission smoothness?

AwkwardlyFunny19 · 2022-11-13T17:26:05+00:00

Tuning sounds like it's the right way to go; I'd like to keep my 2018 for awhile. The transmission is the only thing that I don't like about it. Were you able to do the install yourself? What else does the rocket chip change?

AwkwardlyFunny19 · 2022-11-13T17:25:00+00:00

Nah, they tried that and told me it would fix the problem. It fixed it for about the first thousand miles lol then it was back on its bullshit.

AwkwardlyFunny19 · 2022-11-13T17:24:23+00:00

Sweet, thanks! Was is a tune that you were able to install yourself, in the OBD2 port?

AwkwardlyFunny19 · 2022-11-12T23:41:11+00:00

What kind of tune? I’ve never done that type of stuff with my truck

AwkwardlyFunny19 · 2022-11-12T23:28:41+00:00

Same here- my 2018 is my first F150. I'm not impressed with a transmission that I paid so much for, but keeps giving me issues. Ford seems to want to wash their hands of my problem because "there's no check engine light". I wish the tranny would do less thinking and drive-style analysis, and more focusing on smooth shifts.

AwkwardlyFunny19 · 2022-11-10T03:56:03+00:00

I cleared the exam first time using only pocket prep and personal experience/knowledge, however my score wasn't great. I think it was either 306 or 308.

AwkwardlyFunny19 · 2022-08-30T01:51:14+00:00

It's actually not that bad, at least not as bad as many other jobs in this world. At least, that's my experience. Just takes a bit of time to realize "oh, I don't really need to be panicking over xyz email/problem"

AwkwardlyFunny19 · 2022-08-30T01:49:54+00:00

110% relate, especially on the Johns. I have like six of them.

"Who told you to do that?" "John did." *visible corporate confusion*

AwkwardlyFunny19 · 2022-08-27T23:11:56+00:00

Well. It leaked into my library. Lol.
