Tial 50mm are pretty quite. If you want loud, we use TurboXS RFL. They are the loudest we've heard and they can take 30+psi. We sell the RFL's for $160 shipped. Tial 50mm are $240 shipped, Turbonetics Godzilla's are $300 shipped.

The Tial by design is not loud, since their is no horn, sound amplifing is minimal, but they work great.

TurboXS, man good luck with those...we dropped them after a few units were used.

We used them for a while. We had to many returns so we dropped them. We can still get them at killer prices, but I rather not fool with customers or our time.

ZAngel picked up a brand new TurboXS BOV, and that thing was a MAJOR POS. It wouldn't hold back my breath -- seriously. I could blow right through it. It posed a restriction to airflow, but it leaked worse than the titanic. She returned it and got the TiAL 50 ...

Here's a quick clip:

Pretty quiet -- INSIDE the car.. We'll get some clips from outside one of these days ...

Jose, guess hers wasnt an isolated case then. I was thinking at the time it was just machined a little "off" or something, but didn't care to try dicking around with getting it to seal. The TiAL was quite a bit more money, but I believe it was well spent.
