If its not at WOT, that means its sealing just fine..... any bypass valve is going to be venting excess air at anything other than WOT.

Mine whistles and vents air at anything but strong acceleration. Even when I'm putting my foot down on the throttle, if I slowly back off the throttle I can hear the valve open

You're Welcome. with regards to the music, I think it also helps to know that the Blow-off valve can be heard over that as well as the exhaust. eek?

@F1point4 let me know how adjusting it goes in regards to eliminating the ear piercing whistle when cruising.
6th gear at 70-80mph is almost unbearable with the windows down when you are just cruising down the highway. If the valve could just a touch more open i'm sure it wouldn't whistle. The original video posted by Vortech only had a "whoosh" not a whistle... I feel like it was falsely advertised at this point. |
