Default stupid question about BOV's.....thanks

Yes I know BOV's arent meant for our cars b/c they'll run rich and are bad for the cat. But if you have a test pipe would a BOV cause any other damage other than decreased gas mileage?? I'm not going to get one I was just wondering about that today. Thanks all

Default if you pull your MAF

a BOV would run perfect.

Default also, your o2 sensors might malfunction sooner

and your spark plugs will foul sooner.

Default BOV's don't have to be open loop

the whole BOV vs DV has confused me greatly since moving to this platform.
there are 2 types of BOV's: open loop (aka open atmosphere), and closed loop.
A closed loop is pretty much the exact same thing as a DV.
