Here's two video I could find which have had their silencer ports filled...

A lot of folks in the svt forums state there is no power gain...

With the first video posted, does anyone see what looks like exhaust flame under the induction tube when it comes off throttle?
The second video, I only notice the sound is much greater after the port seal. No stretched light like when the Millennium Falcon jumps to lightspeed (the only reason I'd mod the Eaton)
It sounds like it's in the cab with him - no use to me seeing as it's a Jag saloon. Having to take the inlaws for a meal with that row wouldn't be good form. ('Is our daughter seeing a headcase' would shoot through my potential father-in-law's head)
Glue v Welding. Good luck.

Not to mention shipping of the blower to the porting place and cost new gaskets...You could get nitr, I mean a killer chiller setup for that price...
I-Epoxy has an extremely high tensile strength and is used in many construction projects including bridges, tunnels and skyscrapers...Unlike "glue"...

The Rolls-Royce Merlin aircraft engine was one example of a supercharged engine that used "extra" fuel introduced ahead of the supercharger when on boost to both enrich and cool the charge. Good for a cooling effect of 25*C.
hmmm....

From wandering around the internet, researching the silencer port, this little gem came up:

maybe the Fuel portion of a nos wet system connected to the fuel rail with a jet installed in to the elbow with the fuel line routed through a Moroso 65125 Moroso Insulated Cool Cans cool can

Using meth is even more effective then fuel. In the days of the Merlin things were a bit less metered not to mention it had no intercooler and a super charger with more displacement then our entire motor.
On a side note the Merlin is cool and HUGE! They rebuild them at Roush Racings Detroit facility at first for Jack Roush planes and now for others as well. He has one sitting in the lobby of the the FAA regulated building they build them in. Quite the sight!
We are now working on getting this off topic though

Just for reference
Stock supercharger, Mafioso intake tube, K&N, no hood insulation and no engine cover

I did this many years ago on my Lightning. I can tell you from my experience that it is only for making the blower louder. I'm sure someone will claim more boost, or quicker boost, but it simply just is not true. The silencer ports are simply like a chamber on a open muffler. No restriction at all. BTW, my Lightning sounds like a jet fighter under WOT. I have a burn out vid (just burning off the old tires...) on my YouTube page you can check out. Just shut your eyes and pretend it's your STR...

Stock my Lightning blower wine sounded much like a STR, so sounds comparison IS valid hEAR.
Edit: I've got some vids from in the cab too if you search my vids.
