I love the Raptor BOV. And most of the Turbonetics owners do to. I would say install it see how you like it and if you want something else at that time then buy it. Its free to use what comes with the kit.

Raptor is a great sounding BOV !!! My friends commented on the sound after riding next to me around town. He said it sounded awesome. I agree from what I can hear inside the car. I wouldn't change it.

Respect

I agree with you. I don't know why everybody loves it so much. When I heard it I thought it sounded like somebody shot a bird or like u said, a whistle. I hate it.

i too hate the HKS it is just to high pitch and short i like the way tail sounds greddy type s is a classic. the BOV provided with the kit sounds a bit like the greddy to me though. just keep it and spend your money one something else.

I <3 the Raptor sound. Kinda like a "QWOOOOSH".

It sounds even better with a vented hood.

yep, back that sucker out a few turns. Also, if you're having problems with compressor surge or fluttering, make sure you teflon tape the brass fitting where it goes into the BOV housing. That made a HUGE difference on mine.
