Need a really load BOV?
 
WHich bov should I get. I want to run between 8 and 10 psi of boost but would like a loud bov sound. Is there a particular kind or brand that has a nice powerful sound on low boost applications. Also, it needs to be fairly inexpensive.

I've heard a hks ssq and its pretty loud but it's not cheap though. Its a nice chirpy sound.

I have the RFL, and it really loud. it sounds like trucks air brakes. the more psi the louder that thing is.

Is the rfl stupid loud, like drive you crazy loud or does it sound good. I like the turbo sound, so i want to be able to hear it well and stuff, but not rediculous. Is this the one for me.

That loud huh. Is there another one that is loud but not terribly obnoxious. I want to know it's there for sure but not be driven nuts by it.

annoyed....past tense....why did you get rid of it? So it's not too bad. Also, how much is a fair price for one. I have seen them as high as 190 or so

I hate the sound of the Turbo XS. Its a real deep sounding BOV but I think they're so popular becuase of the name.

Out of all the ones I've used: Blitz dual drive, RFL, HKS SSequential, Greddy type-S, Bosch, I like the type S the best. It by far has the nicest sound but everybody has their own opinion. I personally don't the RFL's sound of a charge pipe falling off and the wastegate flutter sound of the HKS. But thats just me.

i have a greddy type S on my MR2. my roommate said she could hear me coming from a couple blocks away. sounds pretty nice i think...

Re:Need a really load BOV?
 
Cood deal. Sounds like the type s is the way to go. ONly problem is now I may be doing a less powerful and less intense system than I had originally planned. Like 7 psi instead of 10. The xs may be better because I will lose some sound with lower boost pressure. Oh well. I'll figure it out. Thanks for your $.02

turbo XS RFA - really ------- annoying.

Get a greddy or HKS

hanknmorgan 02-13-2004 05:57 PM

Re:Need a really load BOV?
 
thats what I was afraid of with the rfl, Thanks alot the greddy would be my choice most likely then

scarecrowX 02-13-2004 06:47 PM

Re:Need a really load BOV?
 
i just did a few runs real quick with the apex twin chamber BOV on my car and the greddy is not only louder, but it sounds FAR FAR better.

hanknmorgan 02-13-2004 06:50 PM

Re:Need a really load BOV?
 
Right on. Thats what the poll seems to be. That the greddy is the favorite sounging of most people.

Re:Need a really load BOV?

I have an Apex'i Twin Chamber BOV, not annoying loud or high pitched, but a nice whoosh sound that isnt too prolonged or squeaky. Definitely gets attention too.

Re:Need a really load BOV?
 
I'm using the RFL and I love it. If you wanted to muffle it, that's not a problem.. just put a big 'ol spunge over the thing ;D
