I've got a 2014 SCAB, 132000 miles, KO2s and trying to decide on JDM 700. Just finished a road trip from Newport News to Memphis and back (10 hour days). KM3s are annoying after 4 -5 hours. How loud is the S/C in cab? I will continue to put mileage of the SCAB until I cant find parts to rebuild it (I have 1978 Bronco, 2001 Vette, 2008 Subaru STI - all 100K+ miles; I seldom sell them, just fix them).

Thanks

You only really hear it when you put the pedal to the floor/go into boost.
The roush was really quiet for me, but I guess I got used to how the (h)eatons sounded on the Lightning/GT500 and my KB on my Lightning was a screamer when you got on it.

It’s unnoticeable unless in boost. Even then, it’s not loud by any measure. If your truck is well maintained, I wouldn’t blink at adding an SC. My truck has 125k, all supercharged.

You won't notice it until you get past the throttle position where the bypass closes, then it will be sweet music to your ears. The only time I could see it being annoying is if you were running heavy/trailering over long passes.
