Default blow off valve change up

i've been runnin with this apexi b.o.v for awhile now and am looking to get a new one that isn't well...so boring. i mean it functions fine and doesn't leak boost but i wanna have a pitch to the bov. so i was wondering since i had a couple friends that had a greddy type s and an hks one if i could swap out the bov on mine for that....

like would it be a bolt on affair or would i need some major modification to the piping for it to work.

here's a pic of the flange http://www.wabe.net/silum/images/apex_turbo26.jpg

ive seen adapter pipes b4. xs engerneering has some i think. check it out. not sure what flange it adapts from though. worst comes to worst u can cut your pipe and add in a welded one.

yea i'd definately consider doing it if someone was interested in buying it. once again it runs perfectly fine and does its function perfectly but its jus kinna subtle and quiet.

doubt it'll fit...just have to buy it and see. just...you can have a muffler shop weld it...I've heard of some guys using JB weld...not too sure if that'll hold though...any other thoughts?

I don't trust JB Weld on anything...Might as well weld on a new flange. Thats what I did. I have a Blitz DD now, but am going to switch to an Turbo XS RFL
