rerb 3 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Just curious about whether or not you guys could even hear your BOV go off. Personally I'd like to be able to hear it, but im assuming the wind noise and exhaust noise would overpower it. Anyone have a different experience? Quote Link to post

Wee Man 724 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Nope. Drowned out by the zorst noise. Quote Link to post
Arttu 464 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Usually not. But I can hear it if I listen carefully and play with the throttle just right way. Once I test rode a twin turbo Yam Vmax that had Tial BOVs hanging on sides of the "tank" just in front of your knees. That made a pretty nice soundtrack with clear effects when you let off the throttle Quote Link to post
MeanBean49 1,641 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Ive got a little bailey dump valve on mine, and you can hear that going off a bit at slower speeds anf mid revs, not a huge noise but its reassuring to know its working as it should Quote Link to post
