Why should you hear it? Do you have any idea what it does? Better not to mess with parts of your car that you do not understand.

Cadalac Converter
Is that one fitted to a big US car??
And you ain't got an 07 STi either - you write like a 14 year old .......
Or are you talking about what to do on the PS3 Game you are playing being a Rally Driver??
Nice try

Wether you have an 07 Sti or not, If You want a atmospheric BOV then have one, Plenty of people on here will say they **** this/**** this, but as far as I am aware nobody has actually blamed a BOV for any engine failure, Some people have these fitted with no ill effects whatsoever, This site really is full of people who like to think they know, If they did they would be selling this expertise and not posting dribble on here! lol

How old are you?
No-one I know over the age of 16 years old use BOI instead of BOY
And those under 16 also struggle with spelling WHAT - it appears as WAT for some reason??
You buy one - stick it on your Impreza STi R/C Car

If you like the 'sounds', save a bit more and get an exhaust, induction kit, and remap. I had a atmospheric DV on a standard car (which won't damage it otherwise top tuners wouldn't fit them for you would they), now gone back to a re-circ with exhaust, FMIC, and induction, and it sounds awesome.

You can tell your Dad that he can buy a BOV if he wants to for his car, it might still impress your mates when he picks you up from school

Ok, time to watch "The Stepford Wives" - anything with Nicole Kidman in it is good.
