sorry, but that is one of the stupidest ideas I've ever heard. There isnt going to be enough pressure to make the cool sound, if anything... it will hurt your performance.

Yeah we know that. Read this thread - http://www.hondacivicforum.com/m_7616/tm.htm He's going to install it backwards. We're just curious to see what will happen, even though it's probably a really bad idea.

If valves only work one way, won't installing it in reverse really screw things up?

we're more hoping it will make a sound from air rushing in, rather than out, so it should just work backwards from normal. but i doubt it will work at all. we'll see eventually.

Just to clear things out, I DO KNOW that it's a stupid idea, but nobody would have invented a wheel if they didn't try something stupid first:-D

So if the BOV is going to be in backward and it is sucking in, wont he get crap in the engine? The "cool sound" might not be worth it. Yes i agree about a wheel but now your just being a poser trying a sound like your turboed, please dont.
