Hell my real family makes these guys look like teddy bears. Welcome to the .org. I will admit the woosh sound is cool, but completly rice if you dont have the turbo to back it up.

Alright alright, now I feel bad. Go research what a BOV's function/how it works is then you will know why its such a dumb question.

I think Mcgyver is puerto rican, give him a set of vise grips and some electrical tape and he can fix anything.

That is as pointless and stupid as putting a 747 aluminum wing on your trunk.

"Why spend thousands of dollars on a turbo system if you just want the awesome soundFX? This machined aluminum exhaust insert sits inside your exhaust pipe" honestly who buys a turbo just for the sound?

You boys are cruel to the core. How do you sleep at night you little Lucifers? I'm going to think twice before I post a question whether it's stupid or not. Evil I tell you, Evil little boys.

You do have a point. These kind of replies could definitely persuade people to no longer ask questions here. Which in turn would defeat the purpose of the forums. Oh well, time will tell. However I will reidirate to "SEARCH!"; Google, msn, etc. before posting a question on here. It's always easier to obtain the basic knowledge yourself, then seek the more in depth infor here. That's unless your sick and like the abuse. And ditto to everyone elses answer about the BOV.

you make a valid point but seriously some question simply shouldnt be asked, and when were met with such a question its so overwhelmingly shocking that it was asked that you get funny responces.

If people post "dumb" question and then feel discouraged and dont want to drive a maxima then they have more issues than how to get the BOV sound on their N/A car. As to you learning more with the 300GT than here what is your point? Is the Maxima forums suppost to be teaching its members more than any other fourm?Sometimes People are too sensitive if you cant have a sense of humor you'll end up a very stressed out and bitter person to be around.
