BOV thoughts

So I'm thinking of getting a BOV because I'm like a 6 year old and it sounds cool!

Performance gains is not my priority as these things don't really make a difference, BUT they sound cool!

So should I get one and how difficult is it to install it and then remove it when I take my car in for a service?

Thanks

Change your CAI out to a Alta and it will open up your stock BOV.

I live in California, how quick can the CAI be swapped back to OEM so I can pass smog?

Avoid the hassle ... fit the air box and filter from the following:
