Has anyone replaced the factory bov for a different/better sounding one?
If you are wanting a BOV that actually has a performance advantage, look into the Forge BOV/diverter. If you are just wanting the sound, keep the factory one.
thanx for the info but i still don't see where the increase in performance comes in?
