Off the top of my head, I believe Ford removed the BOVs in 21 or 22.

Engine bay pics. Pardon the dust

To work with the aFe intake, Brett made his hotside piping cross OVER the intake manifold. The stock piping runs in-front of the motor and under the intake.

This threw me for a massive loop (ontop of the BOV) as I couldn’t figure out how to route the new pipes. The y-pipe is essentially flipped in directional travel. It wasn’t until I went to his website and looked more carefully at his installed pics that I figured out the new routes

He did a phenomenal job running it right behind the strutbar. It doesn’t touch anything. The aFe driver’s side intake and cold side pipe come awfully close to touching.

Ran the car pretty hard on my way to Tampa today. All highway pulls 50-90 or so. No boost leaks, no CEL.

BBK on order. Gotta fill up the bigger wheels and more brake exposure

A quick note, silicone couplers can be notoriously difficult to slide over metal piping. I initially sprayed WD40 to get them to fit, but then I thought back to my Evo days, use hairspray. It’s initially slippery allowing the coupler to slide into place, but then gets sticky ensuring a sealed fit.
