A&A supercharger blow off valve WAY to loud. Options?
So I called A&a they said my only option is to spend $500 on some big Bubba bov with some filter and extender pieces to route the air to the passenger side under the car. Doesn’t it make more sense to somehow re circulate back into the intake? Are there other bov options? Currently I’ve got the race gate 50mm, it is just SOOO loud all the time esp with city driving. Wouldn’t mind if it was just after I️ boosted like on turbo cars but this is just crazy loud.

I read that dual BOVs are quieter.

I've also read that different valves sound different. (several posts)

When you guys say you went with the quiet one is that the big Bubba? What brand is yours? And where did you get it? Can you guys post pics of your quieter bov setups? Possibly interested in trading? It draws sooooo much attn to the car I’m constantly getting people taking pics and smiling etc. largely due to all the crazy noises it’s making from the blower and bov.
