I kinda would still like to have some sort of whoosh. Just not the aircraft sound. It just got a little old for my taste.
i have the filter and it does nothing, i cant tell the difference from it being on to off...im gonna pack it with something to muffle the sound more without getting compressor surge...
As far as "Sound", it's like Night and Day.
You just need to Add a layer of 1/2" dense filter foam to the inside surface.
You Don't Pack it with Something.......
This is very Simple, you guys out there make these things way to complicated.
I could not stand the sound before I added the Filter.....it's been installed for 6 years. It was the first Modification I made to the Vortech Kit.
It make all the difference in the world if you do it right!!!!!

maybe that hose is helping u idk...mine is clamped right on to the bpv itself and it made no difference...ill have to try that filter foam im not really sure how that works, where did u get it?
also u are using a hose of some sort which i couldnt do, my bpv is facing the opposite way from yours and it would stick out too far

I know a guy with g35 a install like you with no hose, worked great.......
I'm not 100% sure, but I think I rotated the BOV to the inside?
Go Hunting........
yeah in the pic ur bpv is rotated to the inside and mine is pointed out...im gonna go to autozone and see if i can get that filter foam and try it out...

So has anyone actually recirculated the BPV to the intake filter? any pics? i want to do this for this season.. getting tired of airplane noise all the time.
Just want to make sure by doing this, it wont cause any issues like back surge etc.

This is all you need to do. This would be very simple and the hardest part would be figuring out how to get a pipe from the BPV to the Intake. You could either use flex pipe of some sort or have someone make a custom pipe. Then just have a flange welded on to the intake tube and attach it from the BPV to the Intake with two silicone couplers. I have thought of doing this and even adding an electric cut-out so I can have it silent when I want it and have the jet sound when I want that. I agree it is a bit annoying when driving down the highway but there is no way I would want to get rid of the sounds the Vortech makes all together.

Ok so alllllll this talk about it and not one person has done it. I had my shop look into it, they called Vortech and Vortech said at not time ever should it be done. If anything gets in the way of the air being released it can cause a surge.
sux for me.. i just ordered the filter because i was told it cuts the noise in half.
If anyone has actually done this.. please chime in but out of allll the research i did and people talking about it, not one person has done it.

I dont know why vortech would say that. That would be no different if somethiing blocked the BPV while it was VTA.
There is absolutely no resaon you can't pipe the BPV back into your air intake infront of the supercharger.
Who ever told you that a mesh filter will lower the noise in 1/2 has never actually tried it before. That like saying putting a CAI intake on your car will make it quieter....
