Default BAILEY BPV

a quick question,
i'm going to remmove my BOV and install BPV..
primary reason i installed BOV was for sound but the car's running rich and started showing fault code.
i always thought BPV doesn't make any noise like the BOV but after searching through the discussion, i noticed some says BPV does make some noise..
can anyone specifiy, IF THERE ARE ANY, what kinda noise bailey's BOV make between shifts?

if you have an intake, ALL BPVs will make some audible noise...

My GTI makes a very loud BOV sound with a Hyperboost BPV and Velocity CAI

Default Okay, here's the deal....

a metal body BPV will make a BOV sound, not as loud as a BOV, but heads do turn at the sound.

However, you NEED a CAI to hear the BPV. A TT valve and any other plastic valve will make a light "zuck". My Bailey makes a juicy "psshf" on light shifts under boost, a "zuck" on medium boost shifts, and a shriek on WOT shifts.

So stick with a metal (Forge, Bailey, Hyperboost, Greddy Type S) and get a CAI (Evo, PES, LLtek) and enjoy.

Cheers,
Sameer
