I have a BOV on mine...yes i'm intercooled. Every once in a blue moon I can hear it. Say I'm in 2nd gear going about 35 mph, I can hear it when I let off...sounds like a butterfly. Not very impressive if you ask me, but then again, it's not really there to sound impressive.

Cool, What type of SC and IC are you running? Are you running more boost as well? Thanks

All the Vortech kits come with a SC and from driving them you can hear them easily

Your friend was using a Vortech so my guess would be that he either was shifting like a granny at low rpms or his exhaust was loud. There is no way you don't hear the stock BOV.
