Again? You have a recirculating bypass (if you have the SS/TC) not a BOV that vents to the atmosphere like your talking about.

i have a 2006 ss/sc does that mean i still cant have one. this guy told me that if i change my intake and charge pipe so its metal instead of rubber that i could weld the blow out valve right to the charge pipe was he wrong and should i smack him?

you have a bypass valve since you have an s/c no need to have a bov

You could twin-charge it, so you can have a BOV(atmospheric) and the S/C whine!

also why would the srt 4 be considered a ricer and not us. in my opinion neither of the two should be considered a ricer.

Wanting a BOV on an SS/SC........

Wrong car man. Only centifrugal (Vortech, Procharger) supercharges can utilize an atmospheric BOV.

Flowmaster doesn't make mid pipes..
BTW you don't have charge pipes......

Why would you raise a non functional hood scoop?

He wasn't calling the car ricer, he was calling your attitude ricer.

Ricer mostly is thrown around as a word that describes an attitude or distasteful style of modding. He wasn't calling the car a ricer.

Basically a blow off valve (bov) is something only used on turbos. It isn't needed on superchargers and its rather silly and pointless to do. And its kind of "posing" per say. People will kind of call you out on it, make fun of you, and/or be confused, when they see you have a supercharged car with a BOV. Why? Because it seems like you're trying to pretend you have a turbo when you don't.

But I've seen it done, if you want to do it. Its your car, do whatever you want man.

PS - I saw a cobra with dual "Fart cans" yesterday....owning one car doesn't mean you have a distasteful style. I haven't seen your stang but I'm sure its clean.
