Some people do!
Can you decribe what sound you like? any videos or sound clips. We could probably find a good match for the sound you want.

http://blowoffvalves.com/ - check out there BOV sound clips section

I have the TurboXS RFL, very loud, but I enjoy it

I like my RFL. It comes with a steel and aluminum adaptor that needs to be welded, or if you're ghetto like me, JB welded

hmmm. I'm not sure how'd you'd go about getting an RFL on there. The BOV comes with flanges in different materials to be welded on, but i don't know what to do about existing flanges cause you either tap it off or get a new piece of pipe for that section

If you already have a flange welded on your charge pipe you could just buy a bare flange that fits the one you already have and weld the RFL adapter onto it. That way you could switch back or switch to another BOV in the future if you want.

I have the RFL too, it gets the job done. I got mine for $100 and I didn't feel like spending an extra $100 on the Tial just for the sound.

Unless you are running super high boost, most blow off valves will get the job done fine. If you are running really high boost the Tial will probably work better because it vents 360 degrees.

I don't like the sound of Greddy blow off valves, but I do like HKS. But again, I wasn't willing to pay extra just for a different sound.

i have the greddy type r. i head this is made for higher boost and i was only runing 12lbs. i dont know if it was the way it was positioned, of if i wasnt boosting enough, but sounded like it was fluttering air. no woosh, or whistle. i would like to hear other sound clips of this bov.

The main thing you should be worrying about is picking a bov that is not annoying since it's your car and you're going to be the one listing to it everyday through every shift. If your just picking one to sound cool & showoff when your flying by people then Greddy Type S is the one.

I like my JDM Proof BOV, not too loud but sounds good, adjustable for high boost (on 10 psi I have almost no preload on the BOV just to get it to open) and it was cheap.

Actually, if you buy the TurboXS TypeH-Greddy adapter you can drill it to fit the blitz flange. That's what I did on mine and it worked fine.

1st gen DSM. It was cheap and gets the job done. If you know anyone with a DSM, they tend to have a few laying around.
