I am looking at buying the gfb stealth fx bov, I have an auto, is it worth getting a bov?

on the sample sounds from 'gfb' the bov's just 'ShHhH' but I want mine to go 'bahmMmMbahmMmM ShHhH'.

do they do that?

and are the gfb BOV's illegal?

Heya. I have the GFB Stealth FX BOV on my 6 speed auto, and I love the sound of it. Its not an essential item to buy as our cars all come with a BOV standard which is usually capable of doing the job unless your running big boost levels I think. Its a lot of money just to make it sound cool, but I'm glad I changed it over. It doesn't normally make a loud sound unless your giving it some stick and you back off the gas. it wont make the BOV sound during gear changes unless you back it off a little bit.

I don't understand your 'bahmMmMbahmMmM ShHhH' sound so I cant comment on how you want it to sound :)

Running the BOV so it vents the air back into the system is legal as that's how our cars are standard, but twisting the top so that it vents into the atmosphere is illegal I think.. but most of us run our BOV's like this anyway. Luckily for us Auto fellas the BOV doesn't make a sound every gear change so unless your gunning it, the officials ain't ever going to know you have it vented to the atmosphere (unless the look under the bonnet I guess)

haha that example buddy! You may get a bit of sh*t for that. :innocent:

Anyway, As per your post our T's already run BOV's. Personally I prefer no BOV and I believe my car is more reponsive this way. I get a tu tu tu tu, rather a pssshhhh or running it as a atocker venting it back into the crossover. As Mike said you can vent your BOV to atmosphere which will give you your pssssh, itll take less than 2 minutes to do. As for your other question, I dont think its worth the money getting another BOV, unless you are really after a heavy pssssh, its more of a noise\wank factor, in my opinion.

Now you want your car to go bahmMmMbahmMmM ShHhH? haha sorry bud no idea, cant help ya there. :spoton:

And yes mikey, I believe venting to atmo is illegal....

all jokes aside these cars make sweet f/a induction noise in stock form.

to get a really violent noise you need to pump a lot of air,then it sounds tough,not like a 6 year old girl blowing her nose ;)

Get a custom tune with over 10psi and any vented bov and you will get the sound you want.
