I like that Pssshhhh sound. But I don't want the idle problems, But if it recirculating , there should be no problems with the idle, but will i still get the loud psssshhh. If so what is a good bov for the evo?

You should use a Cone type air filter if you want the pshh sound with a recirculating valve. You can even hear the stock BOV when using a cone filter...

If you recirc your BOV the sound will not be very loud. The best BOV is the HKS sequiential BOV. You most likey have to recirc but I have heard the 05-06 you dont have to and would not experience idle problems.

i had a type s for a bit with no idling problems in my ix... but just get the aps and you will be happy. i had the hks in my 03, it was loud as hell, but recirc'd it sounded like stock so no point., just get any of the 3 or 4 vta/recirc valves if you want the sound, and they dont affect your car

OMG, HKS SSQV is BY FAR THE WORST BOV ON THE MARKET. I dunno WTF you're smoking dude. Forge RS is by far the premier BOV for the Evo market.

Yes, i had the Forge RS recirc'ed with the stock intake and it was more audible then stock, but still very quiet. Now i have cone filter, it's louder, but a VERY different noise then VTA makes.

Does anyone have a sound clip of the aps valve? I heard alot of people say it sounds like a sneeze, and not very noticeble. I thought about picking one up and throwing it on for a while, I too like the BOV sound.
