HKS BOV FIN question

I just got the TiTek BOV kit for my 335, and I have a question about the BOV fin. I know there are 2 or 3 diffrent fins you can get for the BOV that produce a diffrent sound. DOes anyone know what color fin produces the loudest noise? I have heard that one of them you can not hear in the car (and hardly outside the car). Any info would be great. Also, how can you tell which one you have? Can you tell without taking it apart?

I plan on adding a FMIC, ecu reflash (or piggy back), up grade all the piping fro, turbo's back, full coilover suspension, strut braces, sway bars, and maybe oneday up grade the turbo and internals. Its going to take me a long time to build it.. But I plan on making it a monster.

It's his money...what makes you think he's going to give two shits about pleasing you?

I don't necessarily agree with going for the loudest option but I do like to hear the sound of a BOV even on a "luxury" car. You can also drive it in a manner where you don't ever have to hear it if you're trying to keep people from thinking you're a ricer.

As stated e90post will likely be your best resource...good luck!

well I kinda lucked out. My brother has the HKS SSQV on his turbo civic si (2000). He also has a couple of the extra fins. He said that he had to take his apart 2 or 3 times to get the right sounding fin (for him) figured out. He told me the one that came in the kit in the one he recomends. The fin that was in his BOV was the "silent" one. Our friend owned the turbo kit before selling it to my brother, and put the "silent" fin in there. So, I should be gtg!
