Default Does a supercharger make your exhaust louder?

I'm having a Procharger F1C installed on my C5 in a month or so and was wondering if I should expect the exhaust to get louder. I have LT's (catless x-pipe), Corsa Indy's with a Cam etc..Thanks!

you will be moving more air through the motor so yes it will get louder as rpm goes up under load.

at idle and cruise you will have the whine of the supercharger.

I think it does also, but only at WOT and in higher rpm ranges. Not like nitrous where you get an instant exhaust note change when you spray.

You need to worry about that loud whistle (jet fighter style) you are going to have. Thats going to be louder than the exhaust.

When I moved up to the F1C my exhaust didn't get any louder. Mainly due to the fact that the F1C is louder than the exhaust. I am going through Corsa Protouring and ARH long tubes.
