be careful with the RFL. My friend and i traded bov's for a day just to hear a different sound. The rfl make the car sorta stumble when letting off the throttle. I didnt try any different shims or whatever u can do to that bov because it was his and i was only having it on for a day. With the HKS i didnt have any problems.

i had both the hks and rfl. i like the rfl better how much you looking to purchase one for? i might sell my rfl.

I had an HKS, and it wasn't as loud as I thought. I wouldn't recommend one, especially since my scoob felt sluggish and had an even worse low rpm lag while I had it on, but to each his own.

I would probably get a GFB, they were loud and less expensive.

the biggest down side to having a bov is the gas it uses up along with the no power gains...

i figured that i lost about 35 miles on each tank just having the bov on... sorry but right now with gas prices the way they are and the amount of driving im doing the sound aint worth it for me..

zumnwrx:

Did you have one that was pumping 100% atmosphere ? I haven't noticed much difference in gas milage for the last year that i have had my GFB hybrid BOV set at 50/50. Thanks
