I heard that stealth is noise-adjustable by adjusting the percentage of dumping air. it is $260 on http://www.spimotorsports.com/Catalog/gfb_stealthfx_bov_1839874.htm is it a good deal?
and is hybrid adjustable, too? it is $20 cheaper than stealth on intense motor.
last question, on the website above, is the BOV for wrx or is it a universal one?
Thank you:D

as far as i know, only wrx, but i have the hybrid, i won't say what i got it for b/c you'd get super jealous but, i've seen it for under 195 brand new... don't know where you see it for 240...
hybrid works fine for me,i love ths ound of a large WOOSH, if you do want to change it, it only takes about 15 min, so its not a huge difference, but you can only switch it from 50% to 100% unlike the stealth which has like 6 settings

i think that these BOV's work on VW's too. my friend has one and wanted to sell me his adjustable one. all i needed was an adapter plate that would make it work on a wrx intercooler.

I have had a Stealth Adj. on for about a year... works great.
I payed like $250ish & the adjustability is a big plus when you want to tune out the "afterfires" or get sick of the "PSHHHHHT"

There is a WRX specific one avalible, or you can get a universal & an adapter plate.

They also make a:
-Universal http://www.gofastbits.com.au/Stealth.jpg

-200SX http://www.gofastbits.com.au/Stealth_200SX.jpg

-Skyline http://www.gofastbits.com.au/Stealth_Skyline.jpg

You only need an adaptor plate if you buy a universal BOV...
These are all of the colors too...

I've seen used hybrids go for around $100 or so, but the used stealth ones go for around $175 or so used. Is the adjustability feature worth that difference?

i don't know. since i'm not really good at these mechanical stuff, i just want the one that are easy to handle. and also sometimes i might get annoyed by that sound,,so i wanna get a stealth
