Help: Worth getting a BOV

GT1281 · 05-06-2009, 07:16 PM

I'm thinking of getting rid of my afe oiled dci to get a bov setup. Maybe AA or CPE. Do you think it's worth it? I just don't feel any difference with my intake plus I'm scared of sucking up water in the Fl summer months.

The only thing you will notice with the bov is the sound. I would say its not worth it.

I just bought the AA blow off valve. From a performance perspective you aren't really going to gain much if anything but I do enjoy the blow off noise and seem to notice crisper shifts. It could be placebo but for some reason it feels better. I will say that installation was a bitch but everything in the instructions was easy to follow. Thats about all I can really contribute to this thread.

Exhaust was my next choice. I'm thinking CPE. My boy has it on his 335 and it sounds great. That's what I think I'm gonna do. Drop in filter, scoops and exhaust. Maybe some Forge diverter valves.
