Default Apex'i BOV?

How does the Apex'i twin chamber bov compare to othere bov's out there like TiAL, greddy, etc?

I don't hear to much about it, but i may be getting one.

Also, i know this is pretty much irrelevant to performance, but how does it sound? Don't flame me for asking how it sounds .. just wondering if it's loud, quiet, sounds like a bird getting raped, etc.

Thanks

Shoot me an IM on AIM after 5:30PM today and I will show you how it sounds. As for quality it's good but TiAL's quality is better IMO.

Thanks. What makes TiAL better, in quality? I know TiAL makes awesome products, but i've been pleased with everything i've owned made by Apex'i. Thanks!

I've got the Apex'i, and I like it a lot...the only thing was the little red twisty that you adjust sound with blew off of mine, so it's loud all the time I understand it's superior because of the twin-chamberness, but as to what aspect, I have no clue...

i have the apexi bov and really enjoy it. It has three setting from quieter to louder. i leave it on the louder one. I haveent heard too many other brands, but i think it sounds sick as hell.

I got the apex'i twin chamber too. I never had a problem with the red thingy coming off.

Im my opinion its a relatively quiet BOV compared to others. I would personally like to sell it a get a HSK SSQ, they have a very tight LOUD high pitch sound.

Apexi's sound is almost like a large exhaust leak.

from that clip, to me it sounds more like a diesel or bus bov, if thats what they refer to as the loud hissing noice coming from those. -

The machining is a little better IMO. Some people don't know but you have the choice between a soft or hard spring.
