Just remove the pipe from your standard dump valve that recirculates the dumped air back into the system.Plug the end of the pipe and thats it.You'll now find that when the air is dumped it goes to the atmosphere giving the dump sound as it leaves the valve.

I was led to believe that this gives more of a wet fart sound than a dump valve sound. Have you done this method yourself Trevor? The disconnecting of the hose that is, not wet farts!

Following on from another thread 'Funny Smell' how much oil spray do you get in the engine bay when using this method?

Does it feed back in before or after the air filter? (Lots of pipes - no manual!)
Just what I've been thinking Jaik! lol Wonder if my cone filter will make the sound better or worse?

Well it certainly does work! Very loud and strong sound. Just need to find something to plug the hose with now (2cm for those that want to try) so I can go for a drive and see how it sounds!!!

Indeed, I need to think of something to plug it with too. Trevor, what did you use?
Well if you happen to have an old Suzuki locking wheel nut it looks ideal Sadly the rain and gales stopped play here!

If you have any of the plastic type ones Jaik they will be ideal. Wouldn't go for the traditional cork type myself.

Well talk about head turning! Just been for a little drive and passers by could certainly hear it lol. I also went to Meadowhall purely to listen to it in the covered car parks and it sounds fantastic! Might have to do a tour of the multi-storeys lol.

Old narrow town roads with tall building either side are good also, Cambridge is excellent for it, the Capp could be considered a perfect car for the place until you hear her coming along with a RRrar, phwish, POP every gear change.
It doesn't matter how many time's you do it or who's looking disaprovingly at ya, you've still gotta give it the grin and make mine a large un.

There's a nice (albeit very, very short) tunnel about 10 minutes drive from me that I like to blast through occasionally. Drop it into first and floor it, you get to hear the full rev range and a nice pop as you slot it into second. There are very rarely any other cars around either so the sound isn't polluted by other engines
I feel I should know where this is Jaik but enlighten me.

I got the exact same effect when i fitted a stainless steel cone filter. Its even louder since it echoes through the filter, more of a tssshhh noise I would still prefer one of those sharp quick sounding dump valves though, more high pitch almost like a whistle!
Personally I much prefer the sound from this mod - can't stand the shrill whistle noise from the HKS etc valves. Each to their own!

fitted a bov blizt dd valve to my cappa this weekend, they are on e-bay for about £35.00, sound great and looks a lot better than a cork in the end of your hose!

For £35 it won't be a genuine Blitz one, it will be a copy, but as long as it does the job then you can't beat it for that price!

You can - just remove the hose and plug it for free lol If needs be you can move the hose out of the way so it can't be seen or even remove the hose from it's lower point and cap the pipe where it can't be seen.
I've cable tied my hose to the aircon pipes alongside and, due to the fact I used an old locking wheel nut, it looks like it's some sort of connection point that is meant to be there. Well I think so anyway

Here's a sound clip of my ABV with the hose disconnected. Not a great quality recording as it was done using my camera! Is quite loud though so you may want to turn your speakers down.

Odd it's a standard wav file - if you just click it, it should play automatically in a new explorer window I thought. Sound recorder will open it though.

Ah I've got it working now. I was assuming it was PCM format because it was a .wav file Sounds good for taking a pipe off!
