Question for those with BOVs

7586 · 08-22-2007, 12:49 PM

I'm considering picking a Autowerked BOV kit for a great deal from a fellow member, but had some questions. First off, do you like it? I've read elsewhere that they do nothing for you but the sound. I personally enjoy the sound, since I have two friends with STIs and they have BOVs that sound incredible. My next question is; are they hard to install? I guess what I'm looking for is your overall experience with them. Any info at all will help me with my decision!

Thanks

They are expensive, worthless noise makers adored by ricers everywhere. On cars like the STi, they actually rob power.

Ricers never think they're ricers

AA is the best BOV I have ever owned... the sound on the 335 is excellent. If installed correctly it will not rob you of any power. If you are getting a deal than def. go for it.

Ignore the rice remark.

I just put back on my stock air box on the evo. I use to have an hkr rs intake that the bov vented through. Now my car is quite, and yea I miss that sound.

I say go for it if you get it for a good price. I too might be looking for one someday.

I honestly LOVE the sound it makes. I honestly would consider it had it been cheaper and not as loud.. i can only hear my turbo whine on Cold start ups.
