Angry who uses hksss bov in turbo, i just got one dissap.

I paid 300 dollars.. My stock bov was leaking, I figured why not get the hksss, I like the whistle sound and with there design, it cannot leak, however, It sounds like a little tweety bird chirping, I've listened to some vids, and it sounded LOUD... i've tried adjusting the screw, but its not that effected, It sounds alright outside the car, but inside the car, it sounds like a little tweety bird....

I don't care how loud it is, but Its almost an embarrasing when someone is riding with me....do you think the spring needs some miles under it to loosten up or what...

Talking oh well

oh well, the main thing is it doesn't leak and maybe Im psyco, but my car seems to rev "free"er" at idle, like something was choking it, and my idle is a little better also...but of course thats probably because my stock bov was leaking like a s.o.b.

I loathe and despise the "bird call" sound that some BOVs have... But I like the way HKS stickers look on my RX-7 lol, j/k but seriously, has anyone tried the other fittings for their ssbov? I prefer the "hhhhhtttsssssssssssss" sound. Is that defined as a woosh? anyway, someone fill me in!

I have one also I kinda like it but HKS does sell rings you can put into the BOV to change the pitch. Theres one to go lower and one to go higher. goto www.hksusa.com they are in the BOV accesories and liek $15.
