With all the talk of the ecobeast badges going away I decided to get some off eBay. Turned out pretty good. These are designed to lay on top the original ecoboost badge.
Once I wash the SHO down I'll put them on.

Bought a ten foot piece of 1" heater hose from Lowes a couple weeks ago, it fits inside of the OE hose coming from the BOV. The idea was to route the VTA to an area where is was not muffled by the hood and engine cover. Yes yes, ricey ricey LOL Its the only way I can get someone to go at a light, otherwise they think I'm an f'in geriatric riding my brakes in a Lincoln, not brake boosting LOL. Anyways I finally routed the front BOV down to the ground in front of the drivers front wheel. It was about 2.5 feet of hose and it seems louder compared to no hose with the windows down. Not sure if I want to screw with the rear one yet other than pulling and capping it like I have, lots of moving parts where I would need to run that hose and I don't want to make it too difficult on myself if I need to return to stock for a dealer visit.
Any ideas on a homebrew horn or some device to "enhance" the sound? I was looking to fab something out of PVC for the end of the hose extensions. Maybe a 4" piece of PVC pipe with a bunch of holes drilled in it and capped. Enough holes that it has the same area to escape as the open hose but would cause the air to have to move over the opening and increase the sound. Oh yeah, that and more boost!

I would like to see/hear the sound of this as a comparison to the under the hood BoV
