Is that car in the video set up with the stock induction box, an altered stock box, or an aftermarket intake?

yes it is it sounds like that because u have a intake on the stock tube when u upgrade ur intake pipe it will not make that sound anymore and would sound alot better ... i belive you do have a stock intake pipe correct?

yea bro i belive its from ur uper pipe i remember when i put on on with stock pipes it would flutter like that. Until i got full intercooler piping and the up pipe would make it flutter because it takes the air from there and the bov throws it back in the intake tube.

yeah it holds boost the same, but flutters when i let off the gas in boost so idk i dont wanna sell it and screw over someone else ill just make a necklace out of it it or something ahha jk

edit: nvm i guess flutter is normal if letting off the gas in boost, so this bov is all good!.
