Apexi twin chamber BOV VS HKS Super SEQ BOV

Apexi BOV
I used apexi bov for 1 1/2 years now... NO problem.. Sounds are louder than open air stock BOV. Classic BOV sound.
no pressure leaking.
Very nice BOV and looks good under the hood. also Bigger than u think... about twice bigger than HKS one.

HKS BOV
used for about 2 weeks. so far so good.. no problem..
no leak..
Sounds like "STAR WARS" piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing sound..
VERY, VERY, VERY loud!


conclusion.
if u like classic bov sound go with Apexi.
HKS gets lot of attention from people. I like BOV sounds for now but i have feeling that it will get annoying after few months.
both are Great BOV. just different sound.

Does anyone have any pics of the HKS SS installed on their cars. I am thinking about getting one.

On another note. The BLitz BOV is schweet. My friend has a Blitz/Greddy type R combo on his Supra and the BLitz sounds like a loud sigh. Sounds like the stock BOVs 10X.

I had the blitz bov and then switched to the hks. The HKS is definitely louder and has a unique pitch to it. The blitz makes the traditional whoosh sound and is less likely to draw attention. If you want a subtle sounding release of air, go with the blitz. However, if you want a loud and distinct whistle then go with the hks. I've had mine for about a year and have not grown sick of it yet.

I have the Apex twin chamber. Sounds great IMO, and loud enough to grab attention too!

Yea.. Apexi is LOUD.. sounds good at high psi.. and it will be soo much louder if it had only one hole to blow air out instead of 4.
but HKS is LOUDER and has totally different sound..
Loudest i ever had so far..
