Okay, don't kill me.
I've been reading a lot, and I've seen a lot of opinions, and I don't want this thread to be stupid BUT:
1.) I'd like to get the Street Unit Hybrid Recirculating/VTA BOV, AFTER I get a Cobb SRI (I'd like the CPE CAI, but there seem to be large puddles here in Baton Rouge occasionally). I've read some haters on BOV's, and I am a newb to cars in general (I mod PC's with wicked overclocks, that's my "expert" speed obsession), so why would this be a good or bad idea? Is the SSQV a better choice? To clarify, I really like that "ssssss" sound, I think it's hot, but I'm not trying to pick up girls or pretend my johnson is a third leg with it. If you think it's not, I don't need to hear that right now, I'm concerned with how this actually affects performance.
2.) The other mods I want to do soon are the TWM SS, a stiffer mount (the dogbone, I think?), some cheesy interior lighting mods (remember I am from geeky computer mods background, so blue LEDs and Cold Cathode get me going), and at the advanced level, some suspension mods and an exhaust mod (I want some throatiness, but again, not "ricer" or like I'm still 18). What other "essential", light mods do some recommend, and more importantly, how does this affect warranty AND insurance? I'm not stupid enough to go to the dealer with a SRI, a BOV, and a Borla exhaust and expect not to be voided, but what if I was in an accident? Would my coverage be void because I have some mods? I ask because geico asked if I have "permanent modifications" on my vehicle, and if I do, to call them...
Thanks to any who assist. Mods, if this belongs elsewhere, please move and overlook my smell of newness (which I imagine is something like fish gone off, or vague sewage, not putrid, just troublesome...)
