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)

All C7 centrifugal blowers use a VTA BOV (vent to atmosphere). None of them were designed as a recirc/diverter valve.

I opted for the quiet BOV with my A&A and you can hardly hear it below 3K RPM. Daily driving you can't really notice it at all. Now I will say in the upper RPM's on let off it is noticeable but still not that loud....

Ha. Sometimes I wish I had the loud one. It does sound kind of cool.

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.
