Default Bypass or Blowoff

Hi, I am new to the Z06 scene and currently rebuilding my top end. While i have the car apart I was wondering which is recommended for my procharger, bypass or blow off valve?? I currently have the black pro charger bypass valve but it isn't loud at all and I want to hear the supercharger, especially at idle. Any recommendations on how to get a louder sound? I was told using the red bypass valve would help, anything else I can do?

I've used both, and I prefer the blow off valve. I find the blow off to be less noisy under normal cruising, but the little swoosh they make when coming off a load sounds cool.
