"searching" would be a good start

if you did indeed do your research, you would have found that a BOV is not a recommended modification, especially since your 9 comes with a very capable DV from the factory.

Dont ask anything about BOV here, now people will start comming and saying some stupid ****. If you search, then you didnt search good enough try again. There is a thousand threads about BOV here already.

your first mod should not be a BOV imo. go with a TBE, tune, the stock BOV on the IX is going to hold plenty boost...unless your just looking for the sound

Please, PLEASE, do not rice out your car with a noisy BOV. They are completely un-necessary. Some aftermarket BOV’s can cause your car to run poorly if not properly tuned for it. The JDM Aluminum BOV that the IX comes stock with is perfect and can hold high levels of boost once and if you are tuned. If you must have one, I've heard good things about the FORGE BOV.

Please don't "R!CE" up your beautiful car with a BOV for noise.

haha.. ok now BOV is out of my list! I'm not gonna put a BOV anymore.... I'm ignorant... I gotta learn more about this car... I am planning to go for looks first (not in a ricey way)... I was gonna trade in my civic too but I do miss my civic so I got it back hehe... Anyway, thanks for the heads up! I didn't even know that.... to be honest.. I like the sound... but after you guys mentioned that.. I don't think I would get a BOV anymore.. thanks!!! I would do my research again.... I bet I still have lots of things to learn about this car..

You have got to be $hitting me .... BOV. Dude, understand what the part does first other than just make that ppssshhhh sound and then realize that you have just wasted 30 seconds of peoples lives reading this type of question. You have now made all the people reading this dumber. Oh and God forbid War reads this...i will seem like a wet dream in comparrison.
