having a hard time finding a bov.. i heard about the problems about the vta bovs so kinda wanna stay away from those.. but i do want a bov that has a nice sound to it!!! just dont know what one to choose! i really do like the sound they make.. can anyone help me.. what bov has a good sound to it and doesnt have the problems like the vta bovs have?

 

If you want sound try an open element filter the stock IX DV is a pretty good piece.when i put my intake on my IX the Stock IX DV became pretty loud kinda like an aftermarket BOV without the headaches.

 

Your stock "BOV" is fine. There is no reason to upgrade.
If you want it louder, ditch the air box. Want it even louder? Get a metal intake pipe.

 

u have a ix keep the stock, best move ever was when i went form my greddy type rs to jdm ix mr bov

 

heard teh stock plastic leaks.. thats why i wanna ditch it.. also i do plan on putting some power to my IX and heard the IX jdm mr dv cant hold high boost..

what about the works dv?? heard it can hold up to 30psi!

 

The IX stocker can hold up to 25 psi. I just put an ETS intake on with an open element filter. It's really loud. You would think it's a vta valve.

 

just get a stock metal IX bov or jdm bov


listen to people, they are trying to help ya

 

oo i know they are trying to help me.. i appreciate it very much.. i'm just stating what ive read and heard about the stock and jdm mr dv!

 

it looks like he has a IX

if so he already had the metal DV

/thread

 

i do have the metal ix one right now!

 

I'm running the Go Fast Bits-Stealth FX bov. IMO It works and sounds great. It is fully adjustable from vta to recirc. The spring tension is also adjustable. I run mine at 50% vta without any noticable drawbacks between the stock bov and the GFB bov. Shifting, spool, performance, and tuning all feel the same. Even if it is set at full recirc, it still has a noticably louder, crisper blow off. I've ran it up to 28psi without any leaks.

Here is a link for it. I'm sure you can find it elsewhere, I just grabbed this one.

before you upgrade make sure you ask yourself if you really want every honda in town buzzing around you with their fart cans

 

if you're running stock turbo, i'd say keep ur stock IX dv and put in a cone filter for more sound. <.<

 

Why does everyone call it a "JDM IX" metal diverter valve? The last time I checked, ALL the Evo 9's had metal valves. The JDM-yo hype should have stopped when they started using metal valves here on the US market cars.

 

The Forge RS BOV is a great piece.
