It's your car, you can do with it as you wish.

Pull the centre muffler out, It sounds good AND helps performance, OK not by much, but atleast it's not a RICE mod.

I wouldnt recommend it no matter how it sounds unless you have some kind of aftermarket tuning. You can hurt the cars performance. Think about it, the car is set up to recirclate the excess compressed air. By poking a hole or whatever the hell people are doing you are now dumping that air to the atmosphere. I have seen this make cars run extremly rich before

Agree, it can also bring on backfiring which isnt good for you cat. Some cars eg. WRX need a specific BOV desig to stop these sorts of things happening. Though a few people have got aftermarket atmo BOV's on there T's and havnt reported any trouble with it. The GFB stealth BOV is the one to use, it has been designed with the T in mind so works the best with it, apparantly.

Its nor rice at all! I have a blow off valve on my car and I think its awesome! A good brand is Turbo Smart which you can purchase at most car auto outlets.

The T already has a cheap blow off valve (So that make it rice does it?) why not upgrade and get a unit which looks better and will last you if you upgrade your power which to a certain point the standard will just sh#t itself to a certain psi.

APS sell BOV aswell and have them included in the phase III I think. Also Herrod sell there own brand.

Do what you want, its your car mate...

Goodluck,

Think they are illegal too as they vent direct to outside air. They are easy to pick and you may end up with a defect or a trip to the RTA for an inspection.

had an aftermarket sneeze valve on his XR6T.

that's true Rusht,

The plumback BOV are not illegal bcs the air is not let out into the atmosphere, however the trumpet style Bov alows the waste to escape and that's when you here that loud noise which is illegal. The Bosh BOV the T have are not to bad but are cheap and I have been told can only last to a certain point if you have done some heavy mods to your car.
