My friend has a Works drop-in and compared to my Ralliart, I hear his blow-off valve where I barely hear mine.

Dude why the hostility? I didn't make any claims. You can infer what you want from what I said. I do know that an open element filter flows better than a drop-in and those you can hear the BOV clearly.

Was that post really necessary especially when you're representing a shop. Makes me want to stop by for a tune.
