Its a really nice BOV. One of the best sounding around as well. I had it on my old TTI kit and it sounded awsome. Now I have a 50MM Tial and I don't like the sound as much.

The Godzilla valve is a nice piece, but very bulky in size.

Ya, we won't even go into that.

If you give me a few days I plan to have some video of my car. I like the sound of it, but it is physically large as some have said.

Ok what is the diff between the 44mm the 50mm and the Godzilla? (Performance wise for those that want to answer 6mm)

Thanks, I appreciate that... I would really like to hear it.

Any way to desrcribe it? How much does it get in the way?

Provided we get some decent weather this weekend I will take a couple vids of the car.

I would describe it as a "psssttt" type of sound. It is not the high pitched sound a lot of imports make. I guess the closest comparison I can think of right now is like if you were to depress the valve stem on a car tire. I like it myself, and BOV functions fine.

BOV sounds - you ricers. ...just messin' - I like some of the various sounds they make too. Just like a well built motor with a bumpin' cam.

I have some autocross vids that will be put up today, stay tuned.

Man, having a hell of time uploading vids today. Neither ls1tech vids or streetfire were working for me. Finally got 1 to work on photobucket.

Here is my second run of the day at the autocross. The bov is most audible when my car is pointed towards the camera. Boost was set to 8 psi, but I only saw 4.5 the whole day (tire spin).

Here is another run, in the rain:
