Not much sound out of my Greddy Type S BOV
I just bought a Greddy Type S BOV today. Before I installed it I removed the smaller spring inside it arleady. After I installed it and have it recirculate I didn't get much sound out of the BOV at all. But once I installed it in VTA, it was pretty loud. Is there a way to make the BOV loud when having it recirculate? Some say to install an aftermarket intake but I saw many ppl having the same BOV and having in recirculate without and aftermarket intake.

Stock intake no BOV is loud when recirc.. if you get an injen intake (i have) or hks any real free flowing open filter intake you'll notice its 10 times louder.. Even stock recircs make a noticible woosh.. As far as making it louder in recirc.. only a k&n drop in something that flows more air (noise travels through it in a sense) you can sometimes hear it a little more.. But to get what you want you'll need an intake man

yeah I having a feeling I might have to do that. Well i'm still under manufactorer warranty and i hear puttin on an intake will void it. Installing an aftermarket bov won't void the warranty, i know that for sure. Guess i'll have to stick with the K&N filter for now.

Depends on the dealer.. be nice to them and tell them you would like to add an aftermarket intake system.. If they say.. well it'll void your warranty then you have to be sure to replace the stocker before you go back in. In that case I would not suggest the injen as the lower I.C pipe not so easy to get on and off... They cant void your entire warranty over an intake.. if they say they can.. their full of ****.. My car has cams etc. and my local mitsu dealers service manager knew about it first off.. He knows I understand if I were to break a valvespring or drop a valve I am f'd but he wont void my entire warranty. And wouldnt blow my cover with them. Ask first and be nice to the guys.. cut up with them and talk cars man.. Just be nice.. and they will be nice to you.. usually.

Then, when you need to go in for warranty work, just replace the BOV and the intake back to stock...Believe me, the minute they see that shiny Greddy BOV, it's warranty voiding time!

And if you go to Lancershop.com they have a cover you can buy to put over the exposed filter so it looks like it was supposed to be like that and i guess make sure the filter stays put. Check it outMike
