An LS1 fbody running a turbo will scare anyone under load......by the time you shift you will probably be 5 cars out on 99% of cars you cross paths with They won't even hear your BOV.

PS--Get a tial 50mm. Nice piece.

I run a TiaL now cause it fits my FMIC piping best. It's fairly quiet. Before I had a TurboXs LABOV (Loud Assed BOV....no kidding, that's the name). You could hear that freakin thing 2 miles away. It lived up to it's name. I scared the living crap out of a WRX STi on the interstate w/ it.

But....think the TiaL is a better piece, even if it is quieter. Just my $0.02

Turbo XS Type H-RFL is exactly what you're looking for if you want loud just like Schantin said...

The turbosmart blow off valve is one of my favorites...



The Tial is also a very nice BOV - both work great!

I have the turboxs type h not the rfl model and it is perfect abount of noise. You can definetly hear every shift, but it is not too loud.
