Who's going to hear the engine once you've installed an empeg?

Well, in the original design the exhaust came straight out through the stern, with no silencer at all. I can assure you that even WITH an empeg you'd hear a V6 under those conditions

However, you're largely right about my feelings towards that supercharger. It's been dissasembled, cleaned very carefully inside, had the casing sandblasted so it's nice and new looking, and lovingly reassembled. It's a work of art, with teflon coating on top of ceramic coating on the rotors. I REALLY want to use it on something!
