Default BOV question

What BOV would be best for an STS rig... I know Tial... but who else makes a loud one that would work well? I searched and found SSQV HKS but I'm not sure I like that, what about a Greddy R with a loose spring? I want it loud... if I'm going to spend the damn money on a kit I want people to hear that sh*t!

Well I carry all the brands and BOV's. To me the best is by far the Tial and Turbosmart. We have used the SSQV, I have the Greddy on my Talon, and I have some customers using the Apex'i and TurboXS. The Tial is decently loud and has a unique sound vs the other brands which have a ricey sound.

In the end I'll probably hit up a Tial...

The Zilla is nice also, but they are more pricey.
