Disconnecting stock BPV recirc tube
I don't want to buy a BOV since they are so frowned upon, but would kind of like to experience the sound for a little while. Never been in a vehicle with one.
If I were to disconnect my recirc tube and plug it, would it be any worse than running a BOV? Would I be able to hear anything or would it be dulled down since it's pointed downwards? Not super serious, just curious, not some ricer swagboy.

disconnecting the recirc tube is just like running an atmospheric BOV.
and makes your car run just as ****ty. |

you want sound? get a decent intake and a good bp valve. you will hear the blowoff sound AND the car will still run like it should.

I imagine if you plug it, no "good" sound would be produced. Imagine Siamese elephant twins joined at the ends of their trunks.

If you remove the silencer on your intake you can hear the stock BPV. Only at higher RPMs though.

It will run like poop. Loss in power and quite a bit of hesitation.

I dont have anything in my fender at all, I see the holes where the snorkel would be and got the block off plate from Subaru, the hole in the airbox is not blocked but there is never any debris in the airbox.
I will be able to borrow a friend's bov for a couple days in mid december so that'll have to do. Gonna be ricey but it'll turn heads, not many modded cars around here. Haha |
