BOV muzzle / silencer?

ASPEC135i · 03-23-2013, 10:28 PM

There were a few occasions when I preferred to be zipping around town in a more stealth manner.

Do BOV muzzle / silencers exist?

I have AA chargepipe + AA BOV combo by the way. I want a solution that is quick and easy, that does not involve uninstalling and installing something else (ie. Forge DV's)

Stock bov? If so, I barely hear mine. Pretty sure you'd have to replace it with a quieter one - if less noise is what you are looking for?

I hear the forge dvs are fairly stealth.

But seriously.. Other than the mentioned dv's, i don't think one really exists. You could throw a sock over it, but it might ruin your sock.

I've learned over the years that aftermarket bov's tend to be obnoxious, and OEM is the way to go. (Unless your leaking boost of course)

I have constantly run in to issues and intend to keep them OEM on my 1

Can you buy recirculation piece for AA bov? If so, you could probably recirc back into the intakes. I'm planning on doing that if I get annoyed by my HKS BOV.

If you buy a recirculation piece for a BOV... isn't that just the same as if you had gotten DV's? Not trying to troll, just an honest question. Is there any real difference, or is it "oops I already got a charge pipe with a BOV and can't get DVs now"?

Pretty much right on, BOV becomes a DV if you recirculate it. Since he already owns AA BOV, seems like it could be easy solution. Get the recirc adapter, buy some silicone hose, t-fitting, and route the air to both of the turbo inlet pipes.
