Question
This is my first post on the forum. I know it sounds like a pretty noob question, but that's because i'm a noob when it comes to cars. Short of getting a turbo, is there any other way possible to get the amazing sound of a blow off valve?

To the OP: The reason a BOV sounds so amazing is because a turbo is an amazing piece of hardware. Trying to imitate it will only get you made fun of...if you haven't already noticed. If you want your car to make noise, buy a short ram intake and then a muffler tip from Autozone...and while you're there don't forget the giant dragon decal for your back window and a "Type-R" badge for the trunk.

wait a couple of months, there will be a baby turbo out soon that will give you a blow off sound and be a real turbo, all be it with low boost, but boost none the less.

Just the eBay crpa. Please do not buy this. Don't pretend your car is turboed.
