LOUDEST bov/bpv???

ok...so i heard the turboxs rfl is the loudest bov i can get for my ga16...but after looking at it, it seems like it would be hard to recirculate, due to the shape of the air outlet...pics are here of both bov's ...then i see the greddy type s, or the regular turbosx bov...what do you guys think would be the best and loudest bov for my car? this is the last thing that i have left to order for my turbo kit...so if any of you guys have any experience with these or any other kind of BOV, and know that its LOUD, lemme know...thanks

Realize this.

Most BOV's need to be adjusted to work properly. When they are adjusted properly they will not be as loud as you may like because they are opening when they should and releasing the air quickly. Many people will adjust the BOV so that it is loudest even though it is not opening under the proper amount of vacuum. They do it for the sound. IMHO this is backasswards because there is a greater risk of compressor surge when a BOV is not adjusted properly, which to me seems pointless as a BOV is designed to eliminate compressor surge.

The Greddy type S is not loud when recirculated especially when it is adjusted to open under 10' of vacuum.

No BOV that is recirculated will be loud. 1g dsm BOV is the best BOV out there, cheap, and extremely effective. It was pretty loud recirculated on my 2g dsm though.

If your blow off valve is louder does it make you go faster?

Why waste money?

Well, if you are going to go thru the trouble of turboing your car, go thru the trouble of installing quality parts on it so that it will perform the best for all your hard work and money. I have the HKS Race BOV on my car and you can hear it when you shift, but the key thing is it works great.

Or ....... you could get the A'pexi SAFC-2. It corrects the air pressure lost by the blow off valve so you can run it as a BOV releasing into the air .. not as a BPV recirculating..

Comeon lets be nice...

As for your question, the TurboSX RFL Type S is supposidly the loudest on the market. But Always go for quality rather than how much "attention" its gonna get you. You get a BOV to release air whenever the throttle plate closes not because its louder does it make it more efficent. In my honest opinion I don't really like how the RFL sounds. I bought it because it was loud to then head it in a talon... its loud as hell but the sound is a WHOOSH. I prefer the Greddy Type S, Quality part very efficent and the sound is amazing. Sounds like... a bird, more of a Pheonix wail type sound. Hks makes a good BOV that sounds like a bird chirp. You can DL clips of sounds on the net but always remember to buy for quality and efficency. If you want a RFL BOV I have one brand new in the box.... I'll give it to ya for 135 plus shipping.
