Well, you gotta share some thoughts on that photo. After I installed the supercharger, I added the Cobalt TT and loved the sound. Installed the Max Header and Max mid pipe and now it is clear that I need to add a header tuned exhaust. Right now, I don't like the volume above 2800K and I don't like the note either. BUT, I don't want to spend $800 on an exhaust.

The only choice we recommend currently with header and supercharger is Header Version SuperQ....which has 1 tip. Have done numerous prototypes in the current SuperQ JIG and some 'out of the box' prototypes. Still playing with the valving on the Helmholtz chamber here but this design has some potential to become the header version SuperQ twin tip.

Brian,

Has anyone experienced clutch slippage after installing the supercharger kit? Just got my car back from Serious HP in Houston. It runs great but every now and then it seems as if the clutch is slipping in 3rd great at higher RPMs.

I have been waiting for it on my wife's RF but so far no slip. Also no slip reports that I can recall from customers and we have sold three times as many kits as any other vendor according to Edelbrock. My RACE BLUE ND with supercharger already had ACT clutch.

How are you and your wife liking the Conti ECS's on the RF? I'm ordering the 17x8 Tungsten 6UL's from you, and while I would love to get 235/40's, I really want the ECS so it looks like I will go with the 225/45 if you give them your approval.

Impressed enough with the Conti that we now own two sets, one set of 16 inch on the Fiata, and set of 17 inch on the wife's RF. I take them off for Autocross days with the Fiat in favor of much faster Rivals, but for daily fun with comfort count me as a fan of the balance of good grip with good comfort.

Brian,

Are there any rubbing issues with the 225/45/17 tire size and the 17x8 6UL wheels on the RF. I'm thinking of using the 225/45/17 RE-71R with 17x8 6UL for a track day setup on my 16 ND Club with coilovers at a 13/13.25 ride height.

Thanks and that is great to hear. I'll order the 6UL's tonight and get some Conti's on the way as well. Would the 245/40/17 ECS be too wide and rub? I plan on getting the RF springs and Koni's later this year too. If the 245/40's are not recommended, would the 15/20 wheel spacers be a good idea for a nice looking wide stance? I don't think you are using them on the RF and your stance loojs really nice.

I'll order the McGard Spline Drive lugs and 8 of the 6UL valves too.

This will depend on how lowered you go, but no issues on my wife's RF at 13.5 all around currently.

Indeed 245/40/17 not recommended, and as you know that tire does not come in 235/40. Thus, looking at 225/45 and that's what I put on the wife's RF. That's plenty of tire for aggressive street fun, even with the supercharger.
