Ahem....cough...points....cough!! hehe j/k

I think you were mis-informed about the silencer thing. There is no silencer in a stock 4g63 intake. Someone might have been telling you about removing the honeycombs, but that shouldn't really affect the decibel level of the BOV. A 1g MAF runs on a "hot wire" type fed technology, it becomes more accurate but cools slower when the honeycombs are removed.

You are not your job.
You're not how much money you have in the bank.
You're not the car you drive.
You're not the contents of your wallet.
You're not your fu**ing post count.
