I've always liked the sound of blow off valves. I was thinking about doin one on my truck. What is needed to do this and can anyone tell me how to do it as well. Thanks

How to do it well....Don't do it! BOV's are for engines with throttle plates. They releive the pressure from the turbo that is trapped by the throttle plate.

BTW no BOV here but it sure sounds good

I heard one on a "cummins to the garage" and I'm new to the BOV world. Just thought it would be neat to have. Thanks TJ

the big thing on your truck is the downpipe and undertruck pipes. the 5 inch stacks will sound very good once the rest is completed
