no im running just full turbo-back.(no cats). i noticed that the hks isn't that loud at all at high rpms which i thought was weird. i checked for leaks but didnt find any at all. my bros 02 (4EAT) has the hks bov with just hks downpipe and its WAY louder even at lower rpms. the hks bov i have is the new NON-ADJUSTABLE which i wanted but its just not that loud as i wanted
maybe ill go with somethin later like a perrin or aps?

i think for wrx's you need to find something that can hold less boost. what i mean is that if you get like a hks ssqv or greddy type rs, you should be pushing higher boost levels for them to be really efficient. Which means, you should get a tune and it might work out pretty well. If you get a tune by SS, he will laugh at you and tell you to keep the stock recirc-valve b/c that is the most efficient. He did that to me haha, but i resisted. i have the hks in my sti and it works great. the worx bovs seem pretty cool. In java's car, he wanted his to be quiet. he would rather hear the wastegate than his bov. I think it would sound sick if he had both noises come out.
