Actually no, haha, some caps like that were the first thing to come to my mind as well, i was just thinking where the hell i could get some, haha. Thanks! I'll keep an eye out for them. At the very least i'm going to block off those pipes and vent my stock APS BOV's to the atmosphere to get a little better sound until i can afford a nice BOV set up.

Cool Cool. It was $500 or something like that. But to me it was well worth it

It sounds even better with the cutout's open

Oh i bet, the sound is the only thing i am not to turned on to about the APS, its too quiet, so i will be trying to set mine up like yours to make the whistle and pshhhhhhhh more noticeable, haha. My last set-up howled like a fighter jet and i hope to get this APS to sound pretty loud as well. I'm going to keep my eyes pealed on eBay for a nice deal on some good BOV's.
