School me on air suspension

I've always loved bags because of how useful they can be. I don't care to track if you're thinking about making a comment about that. Lately I've started looking more into them and had a few questions about them.

1. How loud are the compressors? I know having two will obviously be louder than 1, but how does it sound when the trunk is closed and you're standing within 10-20ft of the car? And how loud is it if you're in the car?

2. Does anyone have experience with the endo CVT tank thats supposably quieter? I'm considering this option if the compressors are overly loud, but its a big price jump.

3. How are the Airtekk air struts?

4. What air struts/management are you running and what tips do you have about them?

Also, feel free to post pictures of your air setup and post wheel specs!

Thanks for the link! I'll give it a read and hopefully learn some things.

Answers to my questions or pictures of your setup with details is still appreciated!

I don't hear the compressor in this, but there's a lot of noise when the pressure is let off:

I don't mind the sound when airing out. I actually kind of like it. I was just worried about when the tank needs to fill up with air and the compressors turn on, how loud it would be from outside/inside the car.

Thank you for sending this video though!

Or are you trying to be a clown like these guys?
