Anyone changed the fin on the standard HKS SQV BOV?
Bored of the standard sound lol but can't afford to change it, anyone heard them or tried them?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] HKS SQV Fins
I took 2 of the 3 fins out. Left one there. Sounds awesome! Best I've heard. Most people that have been in my car will agree!
hks ssqv
i took out the fins yesterday and replaced them with the re-circ adaptor so i can feed the dumped air back in for that extra response, i done this thinking that it wouldn't effect the sound, how wrong was i!!!
can barely hear anything, roll on the weekend so i can put it back in.
a mate of mine has one on his 200sx and bought the different fins, said it was a complete waste of time and money as it never changed a thing.
luke- did you literally just saw them out??
what sort of sound is it now as i love the sound of the ssqv and would hate to ruin it by cutting them out!!

I had the pupple fin and it sounded poo. I put the normal fin back in after a week and sold the purple fin. Waste of time. I have heard that the hks is ment to sound nice with no fin in at all but i havent tried
Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] HKS SQV Fins
i removed the insert from mine after 3 months of fitting the ssqv, the silver insert was proper annoying IMO

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] HKS SQV Fins
I think everyone should put clips up with different inserts as well as modded different inserts...

Once fins are cut, it would be difficult to re-attach..
Clips of single fin would be good
