Message	My friend wanted blow off valves to make the sound but did not want to pay $$. So yesterday, we experimented and took the rubber tubing out the recirc. valves and capped tubing end. We took caps from a Gatoraide bottle and tied it with duct tape and clamped the ends with the factory clamps. Presto! Instant Bovs'! Instead of the excess air going back to the intake, it blow out. It sounds like a bus, similar to my Apexi Bovs, Psshssss. My Apexi sounds like Psshssssssssss.
