BOV?

BadOneThreeFive · 04-12-2010, 03:03 PM

Anyone know of a good BOV? I have been looking at the Helix BOV and I think that one is the one for me. Does anybody have any info on that one. Does adding a BOV void the warranty? Thanks

It shouldnt void the warranty and I have the stett charge pipe and tial bov. It is a really good combo and already tapped for meth/nitrous.

TiAL Q. It is the newer version of their trusty old 50mm.

Yes but there are fitment issues with certain intakes.

HKS SSQVV. Best sound IMO.

it won't void warranty unless it's the cause of the problem or if your dealership wants to stick you with the bill and tries to pin the cause to the BOV, that's why always take out mods before service.

it's really hard to find out what's the best BOV since everyone is going to have their own opinion on what sounds good. i was in the same boat as you before i picked up mine, just keep looking at vids and sound clips of your main choices to make the decision yourself on which sounds best and is going to suit your needs best. i eventually went with AA cause i thought it sounded best but that's just my opinion. good luck!

+1 on the AA. That's what I went with, I love the sound but you have to be looking for something aggressive if you do AA.
