Default BOV question.. kinda a ricey question though.

When I go turbo.. I would like to get a nice loud BOV..

Whats different about stock BOV's and aftermarket.. I would really like a nice sounding blow off valve.. something that can clearly be heard. I know to some that probably sounds pretty ricey, but to me.. it just appeals to me.

How much should i expect to pay for a nice sounding loud BOV? HKS? Are stock BOV's loud? THanks! Any help is appreciated.

---- spending 200-400bucks on a BOV. buy a 1st gen DSM BOV. i got one, its loud, annoying, gets peoples attention, it does its job, and the best part is it was 20bucks!!!!!!

I hate those BOV's that sound like someones squeezing a fart out. Those high pitched one.

If you are going for performance, go with the Godzilla/HKS SSKV or Tial BOV.

If you want something that sounds really good, and still performs well, go with the Blitz BOV's and the Greddy's

If you like a "whip" sounding BOV, the TiAL will give it to you... I'm very happy with the sound of the TiAL even though that is not the reason i bought it... hehe.

But if you are looking for a cheap but loud setup, those DSM one's will give it to you

HKS Super Sequencial Blow off Valve its the best, i have that on my Protege, on low boots its does a funny whistle sound, but when you are racing its sounds really lound and if you have high boost it sound like 3 times in a row.

go to www.yahoo.com and on the search write
"blow off valves wav" and a page that says GT4 contain the sound of different blow off valves, greddy, TurboXS, HKS..... Enjoy

you might want to try and grab one out of a 95 or newer body talon/eclipse i have one on my car. yess it is plastic and it a taches to the plastic pipe. this thing is pretty loud in my civic. i usually have people back off after they hear it go off (blew my motor they think) and then thats when the automatic kicks in hard. and bu buy.
