Simple BPV Question

[speed858]

So I have been through so many posts on what bpv is right for our cars and which ones give backfire and problems. There is so much gray area of which one to go with so maybe we can just simplify things.

This is what I want: A BPV that will produce no problems, direct bolt on, easy to switch out when taken to dealer (so no tube cutting), is only noticeable when I'm doing spirited driving (I'm the one who sold my cobb sri because the sucking sound bothered me when driving normal), and not overpriced.

get the forge bpv, its exactly what you are looking for..

I'm afraid that the mario coin sound will bother me too much and I will just end up selling it back. Is this bpv noticeable under normal driving?

By normal driving you mean not going into boost, then no you wont notice it

 

[aaronc7]

but in boost, yes its quite a bit louder.

The problem I had with the cobb sri was it was too noticeable under normal driving conditions. So basically with any upgraded bpv I would only hear it if I was doing spirited driving.

HKS SSQV is probably what you are looking for.

he wants something thats bolt on, and easily removeable
the HKS requires a flange in order to fit on the speed3

I've heard some mixed reviews from the hks.

I also heard that forge is modifying a piston to eliminate the metal ping on their bpv. Anyone know anything about this?

You reinstalled your OEM airbox, right? If you did, you will not hear an aftermarket bypass valve. Maybe a little, but most people report that they dont hear it.

With the stock box I could not here the Forge BPV at all.

 

[speed858]

So there is no bpv that I can get to make the sound noticeable without an intake?

 

[08cosmic3]

Any intake will make more noise than the stock box. The stock box is designed to be quite but the side effect is restriction.

 

[speed858]

I like the sound of the bpv, I just don't like the sound of an intake

 

[08cosmic3]

Buy an electric car and one of those fake BOV's. Only sound will be the wsssh.

I've seen some youtube videos with bpv/bov's installed on our cars without an intake. Does it need to be a 50/50 to produce the sound?

dont buy bov with stock air box you wont hear it an cobb sri was to loud for you.....

Some points to consider.
1) The coin sound is heard under full throttle and "brisk" acceleration with an aftermarket intake. Casual driving does not make the noise.
2) The Forge valve (and probably all other aftermarket valves) has what appears to be significantly larger passages than stock, which means more air moving when it does vent. This means it has to be louder than stock. This is not taking into account the Mario Bros sound.
3) Forge is in fact looking into changes to make the valve quiet enough for those who are not amused by the Mario Bros sound effects. The goal is not to make it generally quieter as much as it is to eliminate that annoying ping.
After all, most people who swap valves want that woosh sound, but not everybody wants the metallic ping.
