lv2rce · 07-18-2008, 04:51 PM

The louder it is the better your street cred.

I prefer the sound of BoV, and unlike Audi turbos you don't actually "need" these DV's for MAFs/tuning. Some will say the BoV is ricer... I mean if you want a quiet luxury car then I wouldn't recommend the BoV's.

Forge DV's are worth it ...

RiXst3r · 07-18-2008, 08:28 PM

Dual cone intake gives a great blow off sound without swapping out the DV's

e.n335 · 07-18-2008, 08:31 PM

Didn't swap the DV's for sound, I did it for better holding the boost.

+1 Great mod. When you pull off the stock DV's you'll see why.

I was at a big meet yesterday and people were reving the piss out of their engine showing off their BOVs.

It sounded so BAD!
rev-pshhh--revrev-pshpsh.

I know that people are going to do whatever they like, but IMO, it's embarassing.

Quite agree.... does not suit a car like the 335 either

More suited for a wrx or srt4

Depends what you like. I guess a lot of it depends on age too. What do you find embarrassing about it? Just a little extra woosh on shift?

+1 -- I love mine too. I never feel embarrassed ever when mine blows off. People always ask about it, maybe it's a little different over here.

BOOST3D · 07-20-2008, 03:18 PM
