Seeking some advice on a BOV

[STBan]

Hello, i have a 2025 ST and want to add a BOV to pair it with Thermal Catback but my question is do i need to add an intake as well to get the nice sound from the BOV? i eventually plan on doing it just not now, if i can wait i rather focus on other things for it unitl a tune comes out to make it worth it or i finish up everything else i have planned appreciate the help if anyone has any input in this

You just need to replace the cold side charge pipe with one that has the BOV port such as the one from FenFab.

Intakes don’t help power. If you just want to get a BOV, you just have to replace the cold side charge pipe. The FebFab intake adds some nice turbo spooling noises too if you want to do that too.

Oh okay i thought they did but you needed a tune dor the intake to add any power lol
And yeah i was looking at that! Souns sweet! But i want to get some lowering springs along with wheels and planning on thermal 3" exhaust so kinda streching thin with that and adding the BOV
Cant decide whats more important to me rn looks or performance/sound lol

Yeah unfortunately can't tune the 2025s and intakes nor exhausts help power. I'd honestly go looks first, then sound.

You do make a good point lol might just do that tbh

Unlike others, I actually think the intake/BOV/exhaust sound is far more important than "looks". I honestly don't even know what I'd add to mine for looks. Has tinted windows and black wheels. That's all I personally care about for looks. Everyone likes what they like. Don't avoid adding sound(s) u like just because others don't find it as cool/important.

We are all just here giving input. He makes his own decisions, just giving my opinion of what he should do.

I appreciate both your advices i didn't take anything any type of way i actually decided to a little bit of both, exhaust BOV with h&r springs and tints wheels i cant decide if to go 20's or 22's leaning more to 22s with a 285/40 tire just cant seem to find solid options with not super expensive tires lol

I learned something new. I didn't know the FenFab intake would increase the turbo spool up noise and thats what im looking for. Much rather save up and wait for a tune for all other performance mods.

Yeah if you pair that up with a BOV with the charge pipe it becomes music to the ears lol

Houston Speed Freaks, Lethal Performance, or Performance SUV have pretty good selections. Fitment Industries is good too, but I’ve never been a fan of their selections.

Velgen, Vossen and Enkei.

Fully understand. I was just doing the same, and encouraging OP to go with his own opinion. If he wants turbo sounds he should do what he wants. If he wants sht for appearance go that route. Everyone has their things they find most important.
