Welcome to the boards. I have a suggestion. You should really post this in the classifieds section. You won't get many hits here in the CV general forums. Also... if you plan on TyPinG LiKE tHis.... just know that there are plenty of guys on this site that are going to flame you really hard... so I'd try refrain from doing so....

Anyway.... hit up the classifieds and hope you have a great time here...

i would also suggest saving your money and not using a BOV. If you read up on them they are not very good for our cars.

With the air resonator delete and an intake you'll get the same sound but your car won't run like shiz.

with mine i still couldn't hear it with takin out the silence, but when i got the intake from cobb it was really loud and my car runs way better with it in for some reason

well.....
Snorkel delete and intake help but a BOV is an entirely different sound. Especially if you're going with something loud like an RFL or HKS.
Please don't do the Turbo XS RFL though, I had it and it's junk HKS seems to be the best.

well i stand by what i say. lol yes its not as loud, but why would you buy someone that makes your car run like shiz? lol not knocking anyone for buying one but thats my input. Almost all my friends with wrx's that got a bov took it off after awhile.

Okay... I'm confused.. how does an intake make a "pshhhtt" sound? If anything, it'll make your intake and turbo sound louder like it did mine.... how does it make a sound like pressurized air is being vented into the atmosphere?

i dont know how it does it but when you install an intake on your car you hear the blow off very well from the stock bpv.

Cobb put alot of time and effort into thier SF intake i dont doubt what every on is stateing about the sound the pipe it self has many divisions in it thats my opinion i am actually runinng a AVO rec/atmo i leave it at rec it sound good but i might just get the Cobb SF intake it a work of art

Ya i love my intake.. i ran it a little while with it off and def noticed a small decrease of spool up time and it holds a little bit higher boost with the cobb intake.

And ya the only way i would put a BOV on would be to run it full rec. But if i did that then spending the money on the BOV would be a waist cause the stock BPV does just fine on its own. lol

I had a BOV and it totally screwed up my performance, so the stock one went back on... really... I want the sound but not at the cost of my performance... I wonder how those 2 way action ones work that partially blow off and partially recirculate? If it doesn't hurt performance, I'd be inclined to do it... although they're a bit expensive... I don't have the Cobb intake, I have a Typhoon. It sounds pretty crazy cause you can really hear the turbo whistle and this massive sucking sound like a vacuum of air escaping an airplane. lol. It's cool... and if I stay off the throttle... I get about 2 mpg per gallon... it helps, especially since we shop off the bottom line...

Not to sure about the 50/50 BOV's. They will work better but your car will still run a little rich IMO. Im happy with the sounds i get out of my intake, so my want/need for a BOV have gone. I completely agree from what you said, why ruin performance for a sound? lol

I don't have a flange, but I do have an extra keyboard you can use since it seems as thought your shift/caps lock key is sticking...

I used to have an Agency Power 50/50 on my car. It coughed and sputtered every time I shifted. I noticed it was doing that when I decided to put my stock one back on :doh: Stock BPV FTW!
