Questions:

1) Not serious: can it be driven by a pulley on an electric clutch so that I can switch it on/off at will? Guess what movie is inspiring this question?

2) More seriously: Will there be a noticeable supercharger whine? I love the sound of the Boxster now and would NOT like there to be a noticeable whine.

3) Is there any appreciable change in the exhaust note with the supercharger? Again I love the sound now and wouldn't want it to change much (a teeny bit lower and a teeny bit louder would be fine--the emphasis on TEENY).
1) I'll go with No (And i am horrible at movie trivia, lol )
2) There is a supercharger whine, it is not overly loud like some blowers.
3) Doesn't change the exhaust note enough to notice. The are more likely to hear the air going into the cold air intake more than the exhaust.
