The ecoboost already has 2 blow off valves. Do you even know what there purpose is? if you instaled another 1 or 2 and set the pressure higher than the factery units which are built into the turbos the new valves would never open. if you set the presure lower than the factery unit you would just be bleeding off pressure that that the engine could use to make power. And with an install of this type the only thing you would blow off is your warrenty and performance

I don't think intimidating.....Civic with a coffee can maybe...

Don't forget your Pep-Boys headlights & taillights, 6 in exhaust tip, neon lights.....

Why pay 30k-50k for a quality truck & want to make it sound like a 5k Honda?
