You forgot the fake BOV. That wins hands down. A distant second is the LED exhaust tip.

BOV?


I think the riciest thing is definately prying off the Honda logo and sticking a BMW one on there. COME ON GUYS, YOU AREN'T FOOLING ANYONE! NOT EVEN WOMEN!

BOV = blow off valve. A blow off valve is what vents air from the intake tract in turbo'd cars when you let off the gas and the throttle plate closes. Surely you've heard some car that make a little 'pssshhh' type sound when the driver shifts/lets off the gas. That's a BOV you're hearing.

Well, they've got fake ones that make the noise (although the fake ones sound like crap) so the ricers can feel like they're special and impress other people without actually being turbo'd. It's the most pathetic thing ever, hands down.

Edit: I completely forgot about the fake intercoolers. That's goes to second and the led exhaust tips gets pushed to third.

That would be a "bypass valve", not "blow off valve". CART cars have a "pop-off valve", but this is NOT a wastegate but a device to be sure that the teams don't run too much boost, but when the pop-off valve opens all boost is lost and it is designed to pop off at a certain boost pressure so it can happen when on throttle.

ZV

*sigh*

If you're going to correct me at least be right. A bypass valve is one that vents back into the intake tract. It's what you'll find on a factory turbo'd car. A blow off valve vents the air to the atmosphere. Familiarize yourself with the meanings of the words "bypass" and "blow" and you'll see that it makes perfect sense.

Now, if you'll go read my post again you'll see that when I mentioned the fake BOV and a real BOV I was talking about being able to hear them. You can't hear a bypass valve you since it's not venting to the atmosphere.

Where's the option for spinners? And not the real spinners, but the spinner wheel covers that stick out from the rim. Those my my vote.
