I have heard the RFL on a WRX and a GST...sounds great....don't know what the greddy sounds like. Based on that...RFL...but I would want to hear a greddy first

I am definately leaning toward the greddy myself due to less complaints than any other bov. Just want something reliable that won't leak boost, and of course sounds good.

I voted Greddy but you really should hear a 1st gen bov with Dejon Tool leak stop kit, low boost shifts you get the "laser" whistle that the Greddy puts out and on high boost you get a much louder and abrupt blow off noise that sound serious.

I initally bought the RFL because i knew it was loud as hell, not even thinking about the vta. So i just modified it to dump back in and it was very easy to do, and it sounds really nice. Not the scare the **** out of you psssh as orignally but a nice sound. I also have the buscuhur air filter so that helped. I guess its really up to you, i like the RFL alot but im sure the Greddy is just as good, but i dont know how that one sounds.
