NICE. Well I still have to wait at least until my leave time to return to the states to take it out, but I am excited about it. I LOVE going under bridges and traveling next to walls and stuff so I can hear it, now it'll be really singing. Cool deal. Now. I heard a Dodge (before I deployed) going down the road, and everytime he shifted, you could hear the PPSSSS of a blowoff valve. To be real honest, I dont know what they do, all I know is they sound cool as hell. I wouldnt mind putting one on as well. Any insight on that??

Yeah I yanked mine a while back. I already had a K&N intake on it. Removing the silencer ring didn't make much difference at all. My friend has his ring out but doesn't have a BHAF and you can't hear his turbo.

I guess it's the right combo of stuff.

Well a blowoff valve is designed to blow off extra pressure built up when you shift. It keeps your turbo from overspooling. Its pretty popular on rice burners, like on Fast and Furious, you hear that "ssssss" in between shifts. Like I said, I heard it on this one rad Dodge 2500, and man it sounded freakin sick!!

From what I have seen pop off valves are mainly used on cars.
