no. the blowoff valve works by the excess pressure opening a valve and making the noise. anyway, wouldnt u just get laughed at if u had a slow car with that noise. An easier way to make the noise is wind your windows down and say "WHOOSH" really loud out the window.

Blow off valves sound gay anyway as if you would want your car to make that sound, if I had one I would re-route the output of it into the exhaust so that you cant hear it
