Default Quiet blow off valve?

Is there a such thing? Are there any tricks to making whatever bov quieter without losing any kind of performance? I heard you can redirect it back into the intake. Does that make any sense? Ultimately, I'm trying to have a stealth car.

No draw backs in plumbing it back in?

Thanks for all the input guys. Very helpful. I guess I'll go ahead and plumb it back in to try and keep stealth!

I've never heard of Tial BOV's, as I'm pretty new to this. Are they good and why are they good? If they are good, where can I find them and how much can I expect to pay?

it's funny you said that because i always heard the opposite on other boards. I've heard that
1) Apexi Blow off is one of the loudest with a good harsh diesel truck sound (apex twin chamber)
and
2) it leaks like a sonofabitch

The Tials are very nice. Pricey, but worth it IMO...We run that on the race car, but I think Viren could give you more info on that.

Well, that's my opinion though...when it goes off too much, it'll get annoying after a while
