Does anyone else's valve whistle at around 2.5k-4k rpm?

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.

How loud is it can you take a vid?

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

@Rick@Vortech, you have PM.

Sunset

I recorded this video primarily because the sky was just gorgeous. Wanted a keepsake to remind me of how well we have it, and not to waste our gifts.

Second, this was a chance to get a clip of the Vortech MaxFlow Blow-Off Valve. I may give a shot at adjusting the valve soon to see if I can reduce the amount of time the system is venting.

I do not condone holding a camera while driving!

thank you good sir. wish you didn't have the music on because it's slightly distracting, but from what I hear that thing is LOUD when it's releasing the whole time.

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?

haha will do man. i'm just trying to think about whether that whistling will be bearable or not especially cruising on the freeway or trying to avoid those po pos.

@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.
