It's a "Shank" valve (the noise attracts skanks for the boy racers)

Also illegal as it is vented to the atmosphere.

From my understanding anything that vents to the atmosphere is illegal, but I don't really know. This is what they proposed in 2007? Prohibition of 'blow-off' valves
It is a popular trend to replace the manufacturer??

Like 99% of boyracer 'performance' mods. As long as they think it looks cool, makes impressive farting and whooshing noises, has enormous aftermarket wheels that make it look like a giant rollerskate, and the stereo is powerful enough to blow the windows out, they're happy. No matter that the performance hasn't increased one jot.

S1u1t whistle hhah if you know what I mean my car has one its loud yes can't adjust how much noise it makes but attracts a lot of unwanted attention from cops and youth etc. But never been told of for it being loud so must be legal Tegal

Proposed but never went into law. It's intake air, who cares if it goes to atmosphere?

No entirely true. It's a mix of incoming air & EGR recovered fumes
