I can't believe this! LOL
I was wondering around a local auto parts store and I came across this unusual product. It turned out to be an electronic Blow off Valve for non-turbo cars. Apparently you hook it up to your throttle and when you lift of the pedal it makes a whoosh sound just like a real BOV. Has anyone seen this around its funnay as hell, i was thinking of buying it for my winter beater. HA HA just thought I pass that on. You see everyone wants to be like us Subie owners. Oh yeah the package had a WRX in the backround.

What store did you see this at? I have a friend with a NA car that asked me if there was a way to install a BOV on his car. I told him know and he said "there must be a way" hehe I want to buy this for him.

Dead link on price page. Many mirror sites for that unit. Scares me. One site lists it as $300...

, only if it was NA, so if I added a "fakey' BOV just for the sound it's the same as installing an actuall BOV if it's for the sound that you installed it.

an electronic sound generator cant make the sound of an actual blow off valve...the blow off valve makes different sounds at different engine speeds and and i doubt this thing has 3000 different tones of sound built it to it for various engine speeds.
