I have the HKS SSQV with the original silver fin insert. I know they make a purple insert and a gold fin insert. They both change the sound of the BOV. Has anyone used the purple or gold. Got any vids of the sound or there opinion on it. thanks

 

Also, is it possible to remove the fin entirely?

 

youtube has vids with diff color fins

 

I looked and couldnt find any

 

best thing I could find for you..... got nothing on my search for the gold fin though.

this is the purple fin

 

I was dumb enough to get a set of the gold inserts, looked at them side by side, the only difernce I could see between the silver and gold is the COLOR!!!
The fin design is the same, and they sound no difrent!!
I can get some picts. if you want.

I'm sorta getting tired of the chirping sound. If I remove my fin, will this eliminate the chirp?

 

Thanks for the clip. My built Greddy kit with HKS bov should be in by next week. Im so excited

 

Kevin,

It explains right here (http://intensepower.com/hksssqvinserts.html) that the only difference is color.

 

There you go, without the insert, with Original Insert, with Optional Insert.

Im color blind as all hell. What color was the last one and what color does it come with? Thanks

 

i think the last one was purple.

Personally, i think it sounds the best without the insert at all.

 

First they show the BOV without the Insert at all, Second one is the Original Insert its in Metallic Color, Last one is the Optional Insert and its in Purple Color.

The Original Insert Comes in Three Colors, Metallic, Purple, and Gold, the Difference is the Bling only :1

 

Net: If you read my post you see that the gold & silver emit the same sound (high-pitch) while the purple gives a different sound.

 

To anyone who has swapped these out, what exactly is involved in the whole process of removing the fin?

 

From looking at the picture looks like unscrewing the alan screws swapping them out.

 

Thats what I thought, but I was hoping for a different answer. Because of where my BOV is, this job is gonna be a pain in the ***.

 

Yeah... Could be too much trouble to go through just for sound.

 

Yeah, next time my car is at the shop, I might have it done, but its not worth it otherwise.

 

To change out remove every other alan head, the shorter ones, takes 5mins.
