I debated if this was the right category to post this. I hope I'm right!

About a month ago, I installed a new Boomba BOV on my car. After some frustrations, I got it on (I'm 6ft 3 with big hands). Turns out, this Boomba BOV is much louder than I wanted. Last night, I took it off and reinstalled the factory BOV. Now, I tend to be a nervous nelly about this stuff, but after install, I made sure that I had everything reinstalled 100%. I've been working on cars my entire life, so I have a good working knowledge of everything. But, after some revs and driving around the neighborhood, i feel like i've heard some very faint noises that don't seem right. This isn't something I can get on video for sound and not something that is easy to describe... but I'm just a little nervous over it. Anyone gone back to factory BOV and had a slightly different noise than you recalled?

Here's to hoping I'm being paranoid. My car only has 33,000 miles so I'm hoping not to cause any problems LOL

Zeek.. name your price! I'm happy to get rid of it. It's only a month old, was brand new from Boomba and $150. I'll take less than that, obviously, since it's now used.

And yes, I always second guess my work. Frustrating as it is, I swear I start hearing noises. In this instance. I can't decide if I'm causing any long term issues or not.

You're right. I was typing too fast (I'm at work) and called it a BOV instead of a BPV.

What sounds are you hearing? Are you sure its coming from the bov?

so the sounds only seem to occur at higher RPMs like above 3,000. I hear it more prevalent with my windows down and when i'm driving near a wall or barrier. It's more of a flutter sound. I'm not sure. Reinstalled the BPV is tricky because with the spring, it doesn't want to cooperate. I'll see if I can get a video of it.
