BOV question

A friend told me the other day about a little metal piece that you can buy to put the in stock BOV that holds it open longer when releasing pressure and makes the rush air sound louder coming out, but he never told me what it was called or where to find it. Any of you know what im talking about?

yeah you would be surpised. and the stock one is plastic/rubber. this one is machined aluminum and wont break or tear like the stock one.

if you really want it to get louder, get the k&n short ram intake. it is LOUD haha
