I did some reconfiguring under the hood yesterday, and now have my Vortech Mondo set up as a blow-off valve rather than a bypass like it was before. It vents straight to atmosphere, and sounds like a scramjet buttfucking a rocket engine. This will sound super bad-ass at the track, but is far too loud for a street car.
Is anyone running a BOV with any sound reduction? Probably not, since most guys try to make theirs louder for perceived street cred (shit's REAL here in Texas, lol) but I'm not concerned with that. I just want it to be quieter.

- I've thought about plumbing a hose to the rear of the car, where I wouldn't hear it so much, but it'll still be loud.
- A smaller, quieter BOV isn't really an option for me, since I'm running 18 psi or so now.
- Build a 2" muffler of some sort. Thought about a breather, but those are too small and probably wouldn't help much.
- Send it back to the air inlet again, but that would be complex and probably wouldn't do much good.
- Send it to the exhaust? Sounds crazy.
- Foam in the outlet? Sounds dangerous.
- Vortech sells a filter, but not too much info on that out there.
