I like the Apex'I. Not too expensive, supposed to be good flow, and it's quiet.

If you want us to determine that BOV by simply hearing it... That would be a task!
I couldn't tell you what type of bov that was. But if you want the BOV for it's sound there is a different sound from all of them! you would almost have to get a clip from every different BOV to find what you wanted..
I would suggest buying what is in your budget and what you will expect of it!

why not just search, and read about what others have said about different BOVs, and make your decision based on that, and your budget.

wouldnt you rather want to know about function than sound? like which is going to protect your investment better... i guess youre just going for the flashy bling bling type stuff then.

Nope I read about the Apexi BOV,Blitz BOV,Greddy BOV and the HKS SSQ BOVs.Thats why I asked about the Blitz BOV because I read good things about them and wanted to see if anyone here had experience with them.Thanks for that video I appreciate it.

I was looking into the Apexi
I think it's the SSQV or something.

I'm new to the dark side and am wondering what the boost levels and so on for these ones would be.

My GTU will be seeing around 10psi(hopefully not more) and as much as this sounds like a rice statement.

I want to have a cool sounding audible one. Not Cop attention grabbing but loud enough for the idiot next to me to hear.

Its the one that looks like a trumpet, the one before the DD.

Its just sitting around cuz.. well, I've got too much junk, and I think I have a GReddy Type-S sitting around too, and a Tial... I just don't remember where I put them, but I know where the blitz is, and since someone mentioned it, why not..
