How many people have them?
I have had a maggie, it was not a bad one but the COG Style and the upper pulley Position was not the best idea. I have had many Problems with belt slip and the belt in the back needs a lot of attention.

The 2650 is a whole new gen of blower for Maggie. Everyone in the LT4 arena is running them when they upgrade. Very few run anything else. They are solid and probably the most effective blower on the market.

I have a Gen 5 3.0 on my Redeye. Was running good but started rattling at idle with 3000 miles on it. I run ATI 10% lower with a 3.750 upper on 93 oct. Swap to a 3.250 on E85. I filled out the form on Whipple's webpage. Tech asked me to send a video with car running at idle. I told tech it sounded like the noise was in the snout area. I asked if Whipple has upgrade bearings for snout and i think i am capable of replacing the snout bearings myself. Tech said it did not sound like snout bearings to him. He advised me to request a return number and send it to Whipple for inspection. The return number did not come with a prepaid shipping label. I pulled blower off at 3500 miles and shipped it ground shipping and $6000 insurance. Cost $245 to ship and took 7 days to travel from FL to Ca. It arrived at Whipple on the 23rd, 2 days before Thanksgiving. On Mon the 28th and Wed the 30th, I sent email asking what they found to the same one that the tech used when asking for a video. I did not get a reply. I called Whipple on Thursday Dec 1st and i was transferred to Mike. After a short hold he came back to the phone. He said case was bad and new case was being powder coated today. Should ship out Mon. Mon my email alerted me that Fed Ex was going to deliver a 75lb package Wed by 8pm. Supercharger was delivered Wed afternoon. My Whipple had very little wear on the rotors. Fixed blower looks like it may be a new one or they recoated the rotors and replaced the case. Whipple covered the 2 day priority return shipping. Sent new gaskets, seals and oil. So i feel that Whipple scores a 10 for quick turnaround time and no hassle warranty. I am hoping the case problem has been redesigned so it does not start rattling again in a few thousand miles when it is out of warranty.

that’s refreshing to hear. I guess I need to call and find out what the story with mine is. Hopefully it’s about on its way to return. They’ve had it since last Thursday.

That's some good info right there.

BTW, I'm sure your warranty for this issue starts all over from the time of this repair. So I wouldn't worry about it if you get the same issue down the road, other than it being a huge hassle removing and things. Whipple should cover the repair again for the life of you owning it, now that they know of this initial issue and repair.

Warranty starts from the day you purchase the first new unit, you could use three units in a year but after that year is up your warranty is over it doesn’t start all over again with each rebuilt unit.

I will say this I’ve been debating on being a dealer. This whipple is an extremely efficient blower and I have been incredible pleased with what I have seen with it. If the failure rate was fixed this would be the perfect blower. I will say the last month or two I have not heard of as many. So that means they fixed the issue, people stopped reporting it or people are spinning them as hard.

Its not the perfect blower though. The 2650 is. You guys keep wanting the whipple to be something that already exists. LOL

On second thought it looks like the hellcat 2650 is the older version. That sucks. Im talking about the new version. Doesnt look like its available for the hellcat.

I think one shop right now is testing this new one on a hellcat. I dont think any results have come out

I’ve saved up for the past year and a half for a billet 426 and a gen v whipple
Blower…finally get the engine this week and the blower last month and I read these horror stories..giving me some very minor buyer’s remorse😂

I would be interested to hear when the fix was put in place. We shipped our 7th off for warranty before thanksgiving. All have been handled great and I can echo what was said above, like most products you get one year from purchase date. They don’t care when it was installed or warranty repaired, or exchanged. Don’t expect anything but a phone call after that year is up or you will be disappointed

Even with a known issues and repair by Whipple? You would think that repair would be for life of owning it, being it's a know issue that they serviced. That's pretty crappy of them if they don't honor a known issue and repair, beyond the standard warranty of 1 year. They should, at the least, extend the repair for an additional year.

I 100% agree but unfortunately that’s not the way it goes. Did Dodge ever admit to issues with their first gens of the IHI supercharger and warrant them forever?

On your case what revision number does it show? Was your first 3.0 from the early production or late production round of them? Meaning did you get it early 2022 or late 2022?

Mine was the latest Rev J just built the week before I got, fresh off the pallet from Whipple.

Yep

well dang now I'm losing hope in mine lasting. Mine is also rev. j. it was super quiet when I installed it, making 0 noise at all. now about 10-20 1/4 miles passes on it and under 500 street miles it has the slight noise that everyone has been complaining about.

Just send it. If it goes now or goes in a month you still only have 12 month warranty from purchase date - not 12 months from each inspected/replaced blower. I’m not one of those “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” kind of people, but in this scenario I would wait until they 1000% have the issues worked out to send it in, which probably isn’t right now

That was a Coyote Aluminator motor in a Mustang with a gen 3 Whipple. He now runs a crank support on the replacement motor to keep this from happening again.

When you say crank support what exactly do you mean? Do we have options for the GEN 3 hemi we can run for more support?

where is the revision number located on the unit? I'm curious when mine was built. Mine is noisier than my older Whipple units on my GT500

I don’t think such is made for the Hemi engine
