Title: my new BOV is too quiet!
Post by: spagram on June 16, 2005, 06:02:59 PM
Just fitted this BOV i bought off ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=7979200346&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT
But i can only hear it with the bonnet open & even then its not very loud. Does anyone know if these are adjustable or are they just not very loud?
Im pretty dissapointed with it really, i might as well keep the stock one on there!

Thats the same as mine, and mines quite loud, i have a straight thru exhaust on my RX and i can hear mine venting above the noise of that, tho its more of a WHHHHHOOOOOSHHHHHHHHH sound than the normal PHSTTTTTTTTTTTTTT one (if that makes sense)

Cheers guys, i think ill sell it on and get a bailey one then, i only bought it for the noise!! i havent got an induction kit but ive got a decat & back box so i need a loud bov to hear it over the exhaust.
