headers? i think? I don't really know?

NorCalWhtHrse · August 20th, 2009, 04:14 PM

idk about it sounding like a BOV... but when im around 3k in 1st or second gear it kinda sounds turbo-ish with the high pitched air-sucking noise

That's one specific time I recall, but I know there's been a couple others, it's sad, I know, so are many many other things in the car world. Yet we live on.

So since we're in a convo Bwal how's the health these days if you don't mind me askin'?

lol that is hilarious

PM coming your way so we don't threadjack too much

ur thinking blow off valve:

YouTube - hks super sqv (sequential blow off...

and the reason it does that is because it is relieving the pressure that the turbo has built up when you left off the gas

you (and most of us on here) dont see how the CAI could be mistaken for a BOV because you (and most of us on here) know better

but it does happen...

doesnt make the sound

real boosted cars will have this part--its a blow off valve. basically allows excess pressure(boost) to exit the intercooler or blower/turbo to throttle body pluming. its used to protect turbo fins, s/c fins, in some cases more then that. high boost s/c applications with a small blow off valve will and can snap a crank, destroy the blower. it can destroy you turbo as well

austintylerr · August 20th, 2009, 08:11 PM

I've had a boosted car and a CAI sounds NOTHING like a BOV man.

To the op: If that's the sound you want, turbo is the only way to go man lol. SOOOOOO worth the money also.

white03v6 · August 20th, 2009, 08:42 PM

ya nobody is saying they think it does...all we have said is it makes a noise that can sound like a BOV to an untrained ear.

not a chance....MAYBE the sound of a weak sauce spool thats about it
but the sound of air being depressed from a BOV not close.

white03v6 · August 20th, 2009, 10:46 PM

I know its not close...ive heard a BOV and ive obviously heard the noise my CAI makes.
But Goren has his story and i was giving a friend a ride and i shifted and he asked "was that a BOV?"
I thought he was joking and i laughed, but unfortunately he was serious...i know its hard for you (and many others) to imagine, but there are people that do/will mistake the noise the CAI makes in between shifts for a BOV.

And this same friend also couldnt tell if my car was a V8 or a V6...

Fake Turbo Sound Tip by TurboTip

HA that thing went from being $189 to $39, maybe people are finally realizing making your car sound like it has a turbo and running 16s 1/4s is lame.

goren813 · August 21st, 2009, 10:48 AM

LoL at least ONE person has heard it other than me. still waiting for the OP though...

ByPopularDemand · August 24th, 2009, 01:35 PM

I'm with chris on this one...the sucking sound sounds nothing like a bov. Not even a weak blow off. Maybe a little bit like a weak spool but I've never heard a turbo car that sounded like a stock car with a cai...even when I didn't know much about cars.

goren813 · August 24th, 2009, 02:47 PM

^ It's hard to imagine, but there are people who are clueless. It's pointless for us to continue on without the OP. There's no need for us to argue what it could sound like to someone who has no clue what they're talking about. The OP thought it was HEADERS guys come on now.

seneye · August 26th, 2009, 12:10 AM

sorry sorry guys my bad for not replying but yea i had no clue what it was.... and no im not a guy that knows everything about cars... I really don't know anything that deals with mods. I can fix whatever it might be but I don't know all the fancy stuff, but im reading and learning off this website its been very helpful

The sound i was looking for was the blow off valve.
I didn't know if it had something to do with exhaust hint my other thread is about exhaust so I randomly thought of the headers and just asked. Sorry again for not replying... Thanks though.

00BlueMustang · August 26th, 2009, 12:29 AM

Its all good man. Something you can buy that is worth its weight in gold is the Haynes repair manual. That book has gotten me out of so many jams.

goren813 · August 26th, 2009, 10:19 AM

^ Agreed, having a nice manual around is definitely helpful.

And this is why this forum exists, to assist people in learning how to, and then actually modding their Mustangs, so feel free to ask, it's just hard to diagnose somethings without the OP involved, hence why the debate began.

seneye · August 26th, 2009, 08:20 PM

yea ill i got is the manual that came with the car. It helps a little but..nothing special.

truefully i forgot i started this thread until i was reading down the list of new treads and saw it
