Default Question for SRT-4 owners w/ Stage 1 upgrade

I've seen a few SRT-4 owners on here, so here's a question for you guys:

If you have the Stage 1 upgrade, can you hear the blow-off valve? I've heard it's really quiet and that if you want the loud whoosh, a different after-market BOV is better.

What do you think?

um, if you wnated it to be whoosh or whatever, why not just get the mopar BOV plate? stage 1 has nothing to do with the blow off valve.

the bov plate DOES make it pretty loud. 2 of my friends have them and they can out-woosh my 1G DSM bov any day of the week. an aftermarket bov would probably be louder, but the plate is a pretty cheap way to get the sound.

ok, the stock bov bolts the compressor side of the turbo... mopar sells a plate that bolts between it and the compressor to make the bov vent to the atmosphere

it doesnt matter, the bov is placed before any air would be metered, at least in the stock configuration it is

Actually, I'm curious about this, too. Let's say I bought a '05 SRT-4 and put an HKS BOV on it. Would that void any of my warranty?

The mopar bov is not actually a bov...just a plate which is stated above. Once you get higher in boost levels or modding it really does not serve the proper purpose.

The BEST bet for a real bov but on the stock flange and the only two avail that I have found are forge, and boomba. Those are the only two people who I have seen make a stock flange/aftermarket bov. Get one of those for direct PROPER replacement.

Why would they wanna void there warranty when they can make 350hp w/ a warrenty,it doesn't make sense.But you go ahead and put boost on your new car,have fun.

Agreed. To single out one group of car owners and basically say, "Oh, you **** are so terrified of losing your warranty..." is just plain ignorant.
Show me anyone with a new car that they love, and I guarantee you the vast majority of them will be at least somewhat mindful of keeping the warranty intact.

just go to srtforums.com and start a search for 'honda' they are 10x more hateful on hondas than we are with them. and dont get me wrong, i was really close to getting an srt-4 and i still plan to in the future.
