Are you sure it's not just you discharging hot air?

It is first important to locate were this BOV sound is coming from. That way you can isolate the problem by process of elimination. Try and get a buddy to sit in the passenger side and try to replicate the sound.....
If its coming from the exhaust side of the engine, recheck your piping...make sure there are no leaks. Maybe who ever installed your headers didn't seal the gasket with enough gasket maker...
If its coming from the intake side check if you have any vacuum leaks....there are several vacuum hoses on the intake... stick your head close to these points....

Hope this helps...
