I, too, want to know how to get a sweet blowoff valve. You don't hear that from a lot of Mustangs...

Well, start with a ProCharger since they are setup with a blow thru MAF...

Seriously though, I remember reading about someone in Pipes,Boost, Juice attempting this awhile back (several months ago) so a search there might be the best start.

if you dont have a procharger setup, you have a draw thru.

Mine makes that noise!

I will let you know that it can get a bit annoying when you are just driving. But it scares a TON of people when you drive by and blow off in their window.

If it is between the filter and the head unit, it is a draw through as the blower draws fresh air through the MAF. If it's after the head unit, compressed air is being blown through the MAF.

The main difference is that since a valve (bypass or blow off) needs to be between the throttle body and the head unit to do its job, a blow through setup can place the valve after the head unit but before the MAF so releasing to atmosphere does not affect the MAF's job. On a draw through, the air is metered before it is even in the head unit so all of the air between the head unit and throttle body that needs to be released must be released into the intake pathand is therefore bypasses the head unit byplacing it behind the MAF and before the head unit.

I want 1 too . Procharger has one but I bet we would need a new tune because it's not bypassed back into the intake anymore .

Need more than a tune. You will need a whole new MAF setup.
