LOL...
BOV's are for wastegate'd turbochargers. They allow the built up pressure to be vented (blowing off), when the car decelerates and no longer requires boost. This prevent the turbo from surging, and thus failure.
Sounds like you bought the wrong car if you want the boy racer sound/image.
You could always install this...

The sound generated is conspicuous, and will not make one have a second look to ensure if it is genuine.

If you dont have a Supercharger or a Turbo. A blow off valve isnt going to do anything

haha they do make ones for non turbo cars, you hook it up tot he intake but w/o pressure building up, it doesn't make much of a sound. Seriously dude, don't get one unless you have turbo. Well, you can get one if you want to be the laughing stock of the city known as the "guy who has a TL non turbo with a blow off valve" I know what you mean though, I had an awd turbo eclipse and it was quite fun to play with every now and then....it lets people know you mean business, usually.

But anyway, if you want the "cool" blow off valve sound, buy a turbo or a car that has one
