Well I just put in a 3-in magnaflow and that really killed the fun...I have a feeling it may not last though.

I need to get my buddy to drive behind me and see if I shoot flames. Maybe I will if I unplug my O2 sensor...

Nothing wrong with a nice BOV.

Any chance you could get some sound or Vid of it? I'd love to hear what it sounds like.
MRT has an interesting stealth BOV I think they call it. It's recirc and Atmospheric. So if you get sick of the sound....
Is this RICE???

I'll have a sound clip tonight.
Turbosmart makes a split BOV that diverts 60% to the intake and 40% out to the atmosphere.
No, that's not rice at ALL...

Wowza that's costly..
That one though looks like it would work without too much modification on my setup...

It all comes down to the old adage, "You get what you pay for" .. although, I have seen a few going on eBay for considerably less. I really have no complaints. It hasn't screwed up my idle, thrown any codes, etc.. it's more or less been ideal.

Went to Advance Auto and got a rubber plug. It's just like a bushing sandwiched between a nut and bolt. Screw it down and the bushing expands. I just slipped it in and cranked it down and voila

Wow, that's the dumbest thing I've ever read.. let's break down a few of these reasons:
You ever painted your wheels to match the same color of your car.
Right.. Porsche's are 'factory' rice, then.
- Your tires / rims stick out from the lip of your car by more than 1".
Yea.. stupid ZR1 Corvettes.. I hate those ricers!
- You have to find a way to drive AROUND speed bumps in a parking lot.
Hah! I couldn't agree more, I laugh at those stupid Ferrari and Viper owners!
- You painted the UNDERBODY of your car to match
Yea, really.. that guy with the fully restored Chevelle SS is a big loser.
- EVERY car in your class has a turbo pushing double digits worth of boost.
Uh.. so, the lower the boost the better then? Cool. I'll remember that next time I'm at NOPI.
- You want the 'wastegate' sound, but don't want to install a turbocharger system.
Oh. So it's the wastegate that makes that neat sound! Thanks for the turbo lesson..
- If you think that 180 horsepower and 185 lb/ft of torque are impressive for a ‘mildly’ modified engine.
Yea.. Miata's suck. Let's just totally ignore power-to-weight ratio.
- If you can estimate that your car makes more than 250 HP without ever running it at the track or getting a dyno reading.
Hrm.. my Trans Am made 350HP, and I never dynod it. I must be a ricer.
- Clear tail lights and turn signals. They’re colored for a REASON!
Yea, stupid Lexus.

I dont think i would want to be fast in a miata. I've seen one person just about kill themselves racing with me. I had the sense to slow down but he kept going, flashing the car in front of him to move but it didn't. Ever see a miata slam on its breaks at 130mph with nowhere to go? Seems like just about anything would crush the car. Back to the bov, i've got a greddy type s. Oh yeah, it was my stock N/A legacy that was killing the miata.
