I have the V2SQ, with the factory Vortech BOV. I read somewhere a while back that the copper colored, conical filter was a silencer and that by removing it woke up the BOV a bit. Well, I removed it, car does sound different, but my question is, is this a bad thing to leave off? Reason I ask, I can't find the damn thing. It fell off my wrench and is now somewhere on the road or on the bottom of my engine bay. I don't know if replacing it is even necessary, all help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Jared

Those are called Stone Filters i believe. Necessary probably!! Would i find it and put it back on YES!

 

That's odd, I found this searching here, but want a more current answer.

 

I found this .pdf here explaining it's purpose.

What do you guys think?

Called Vortech, they said it was to protect the diaphram from
debris, non-issue. Ordered a replacement for $12 shipped

 

Those words look familiar. That quote is for the filter on the outlet and not the scintered one you removed.

 

Yeah there is a separate filter that goes on the outlet that is what is being mentioned above not what you show in the picture. 2 separate things..

 

Mcmaster carr sells em for less than 2 dollars.

 

Thats a sintered filter and yes, you should be using it.

 

haha, did you already remove the other filter? Everyone is talking about the filter that goes on the output
