easier install goes to the whipple.

leebunnyz · February 28th, 2008, 08:34 PM

kenne bell is quieter, and i think a few dollars cheaper unless you go with some of the vendors on here. as for daily driving, theyre probably the same it really depends on the tune you get.

06RedfireGT · February 28th, 2008, 08:35 PM

I like the Whipple because it comes with the GT500 fuel pumps, and I like where the intake sits much better than on the KBs. Capability wise they are pretty much equal.

onederful100 · February 28th, 2008, 08:44 PM

i am partial to the whipple. it also has a glass window to view the oil in the SC so you can see how clean it is and how much you have w/out having to take anything off. if you factor in the price of the GT500 fuel pump, 700, the cost is similar.

the whipples don't void your warranty, right?

thats the 400hp version, the HO intercooled whipple will void your warranty.

Power wise they have about the same potential but as stated before, the install is much easier with the whipple

lol @ just a few bolt-on running 9's

Go whipple, check out modularfords.com there are some vendors on there with some really good prices right now for the Whipple H.O. kit

dumps · February 28th, 2008, 10:13 PM

yea i'd go with the whipple based purely on the ease of install. i went with the kenne bell and love it but... it was a pain because of the extensive wire relocating, fuse box altering, washer fluid tank relocating etc. etc. all said and done under hood looks a little cluttered.

TASSY5 · February 28th, 2008, 10:34 PM

Whipple HO<<<

Install the Monster and Drive a BEAST !!!!

2006greyGT · February 28th, 2008, 11:16 PM

I took the advise of my tune shop. I bought the kit direct from KB and had it shipped to my shop. My tuner just preferred the KB and did an awesome job doing the install. If he would have said another brand I would have used it... No regrets here but the whipple sure seems to be the favorite around these parts... Oh well I don't mind being in the minority

KingChronic · February 29th, 2008, 12:31 AM

the KB is not quieter than the whipple, the whipple is silent, the KB will make some noise.

the whipple is a better blower, you will most likely have no problems with it, the new KB's are having their fair share of problems.

after experiencing KB's problems first hand, and their TERRIBLE customer service, ill never own another product of theres, not even a boost a pump.

whipple all the way.

leebunnyz · February 29th, 2008, 12:42 AM

maybe of the 4v's and 2v's but for the 3v's the whipples are a lot louder to me.
