Just wondering, the piping that comes with the p1sc is Alum right?
And where did most of you guys get the tube welded to? Im thinking the stock location is good, just cut off the stock place, drill a new hole and get it welded on.

I don't know what your pipe is made of but mine is a thin wall steel pipe. Mine isn't the newest one around but I don't think Procharger is making their tubing out of aluminum. They have a toll free number so you can always call to find out for sure.
The tubing Procharger supplies is not aluminum. I just had to replace mine because the paint was flaking and the inside of the tubing was rusting. The new stuff was steel too.

Confirm your pipe material before ordering the valve. You have to choose between steel and aluminum for the mounting flange. I have the aluminum piece, but fabricated all of my piping.

I love the Big Red. Sounds awesome when blowing off but at idle it can be really annoying. It's louder than the exhaust and I have long tubes and no cats. That would be the only thing I would change about it but other than that, worth every penny.

Hell, thats the one thing I miss about mine(d1sc w/race bypass). Mine was so loud it would get people walking along the street turning around to see what the hell was coming..
I had the open and it was crazy loud.. Switched to the closed ( still run open) and how I get a whistle.. Im going to try is as a bypass and see if that goes away.
The open bypass was just too loud, the novelty wore off fast.

i have the whistle....annoying as ****....people think its my brakes
well, ive tried putting a small K&N filter over it.. That didnt help at all, Im wondering if I should just hook it up as a bypass and see if it goes away.
Anyone know the size of the opening of the enclosed version?
Ive watched videos of how loud they are... Nothing compaired to in person, especially on the highway and part throttle.. With all the air being bypassed... it hard to hear yourself think..
Something to keep in mind with this bypass/blowoff valve is that it is designed to vent a very large amount of air. Therefore, its connection on your s/c piping is wayy larger than the original and it is going to allow more air and noise(specifically s/c noise) out that valve. Running it in a bypass config. will quiet it a little bit(not much). So if you don't want it that loud you can go to a smaller one(which isn't really an option if you are having surge issues) or get a quieter s/c, which with the Prochargers, I'm not sure you'll find one.
Go with the enclosed race valve. I had mine recirculated back into my Anderson Power Pipe. It is basically silent. You hear a whoosh of air when coming off WOT, but nothing the attracts attention. My fuel pump (Weldon 2025) is what is loud right now and I am replacing it with a couple of inline pumps for street use. For the track, you can't complain about a pump that supplies 1400hp worth of fuel.
With as much air as the red valve moves, are the folks running the closed version concerned about excessive heat generated by recirculation? My open version is certainly loud, but I don't want the air recirculated.
