People say it's just the type of bov but I'm yet to hear a T that has no flutter.it is possibly I think there a few clips on youtube of some XR with bovs where it jut goes psshht and that is all.the spring tension in the BOV has to be very very tight for that sound.

Some may like the sound... BUT you gotta see the vibration in the pipes. that cant be good, it would also vibrate your throttle body, pipe joins, weld points, turbo, intercooler etc etc etc. I dont think it can be good for your car.. It could fracture something, its like a jackhammer under there vibrating away.If we stuck a can of baked beans in your gut and blocked off your bum and mouth/nose would that be good for you when you need to fart? The pulses under the hood were ridiculous...I say get a good BOV and sleep easy, they dont leak boost, even if there is still some flutter, it cant be worse than blocking it off completely...
