You won't hear much if you recirculate it.
Mine isnt recirc, and it all of a sudden doesnt sound at all like it should. It's really really quiet. I'm pushing 12pounds on it. I had a 3rd gen kit one and it sounded awesome when i was pushing more air with my v-mount. After a while i had problems with it and bought another, but this one doesnt sound at like my first one did. Kind of pisses me off

ya
if you vent to the intake manifold, when u shut the throttle, it pushes air into the intake = shut throttle, car still go, and then the afm is already shut so yeah
dont do that

I have the HKS SSQV BOV. I like it a lot because it has the whistle then air escaping noise and I think its at a moderate level of noise. Enough to hear, but not enough to attract to much attention. Its nowhere near the Greddy Type S. That thing is loud and makes you want to trip when drunk. 
Although it sounds nice in my opinion. Don't get blitz either, its pretty damn loud.
