you know that you can adjust the BOV to either soft / hard which will in turn affect how loud it is.

yea i know when you adjust it, but with a RFL it has 5 or 6 washers that you put in it, which is soft or hard , the more washers hard or the other way around.

supposidly the less makes it louder (i think) but me and my friend tried several variations on his sti and nothing made any significance difference in sound, we ended up putting it back to how it was stock and it seemed to run best

no, i put one in it because the directions said before installing to put one in and something about if it idles rough than add washers until it idles smooth, and my car idles fine, but if it will blow off sitting still at 9 psi that will be fine.
