best/loudest BOV?
 

i was wondering what the loudest blow off valve is for a FD. i have heard good things about blitz. figures because it is the most expensive one. are there any other good alternatives? one other question. will an intake make you hear the whistle of the turbos more? thanks

the stock one is probably as loud as you can get after disconnecting it from the airbox. IMHO save your cash.

Go with the HKS SS BOV its badass great sound!!! An open filter will be louder than stock. I dont know about an aftermarket box like the M2 Performance Carbon box. Prolly louder than stock but not as much as a open element.

I agree the HKS SS BOV is the sewwtest thing on earth. Not only is it loud as hell, it also produces a high pitched whistle, not that same old woosh sound. It also performs great too. Hands down, a real head turner

Whenever someone asks this SAME OLD FUCKING QUESTION I always have to has, "Since when is 'best' associated with the noise the BOV makes?" Whatever happened to wanting function and quality? (GReddy Type S or Type R if you never boost below 1 bar) Why does everyone want a loud BOV and why does everyone want to "turn heads"? I just don't get it. Would you want a really loud-mouthed girl? Even if she "turns heads"? I don't, and I don't want a girl just because she turns heads -- I could care less on that part as long as she's cool, funny, athletic, and beautiful to me (read "blonde athlete"). Enough of that example ... Why do you want attention to validate yourself?

hey buddy....i didnt ask to hear about why you are sexually frustrated i asked about a god damn blow off valve.

Thanks to those who put their helpful input.

one more thing...is this a necessary mod to have or am i just wasting $300? if i have:boost controller, downpipe, midpipe, catback, ecu, and intake is this necessary or is it just mainly for sound? how much louder is it than the stock one? thanks a lot oh and DK.....good luck with the ladies buddy....hang in there...the strong silent type will come your way :D

I am very happy with my Blitz Blow Off Valve. I heard HKS is good to. Between the two it is pretty much a toss up probably

Blitz is the loudest one I've heard by far. HKS SS BOV makes a uniq sound, but isn't as loud. The Blitz sounds great, but my friend's, on his MR2, got stuck in the open position..easily fixed though. But the Greddys are great for reliability and functionality. BTW the BOV is not a neccesary modification, but it does protect the turbos during vaccum.

Funny ... I've got no problems with women ... at all ... which is why I can have a type and not have to settle for what a car attracts. I push those bitches off.

your just wasting 300$, you only ned a new BOV, it the stock can't vent the boost quick enough, I don;t know how much boost you are running, but with your mods I doubt you need one.

I will have a Blitz BOV for sale when I get my HKS unit. Email me if interested. Al900rr@aol.com

If your running stock turbo's, do you need to buy two bov's or just one?

Re: best/loudest BOV?
 

i bought an apexi bov cuz it was the cheapest.
HKS sequential bov is made out of plastic tho...

An aftermarket BOV gives zero performance benefit over the stock BOV. It is just for noise and appearance. That is not my thing, but I completely respect the right of any owner to do what they want with their car.
