agreed, thats the only reason why i bought my RFL, cause its loud however at full boost it sounds like what an airport entrance door sounds like when it closes..that rush of air that closes the door, its like ppppusssshhhhhh!! LOL or something like that..

Get the HKS, it gives about 5 rwhp.
Seriously though I wouldn't waste your money there are much better places it can be spent.

"Best sounding" is subjective to each person. The best way to go about it is to think of what "type" of sound you would like to hear. Both the stock BOV and the Apexi have the classic "whoosh" sound. The others have different types of sound so you'll need to decide the type of sound you want to hear, and that will lead you to the BOV you might want.
Also, there have been noted turbo response improvements from using aftermarket BOV's due to their stronger springs (which everyone seems to be forgetting or doesn't know about).
There is a mechanic in TN (his name is Garfinkle) who modifies the stock BOV (for a price) fitting a stronger spring thus giving the benefit of a aftermarket BOV without the price tag of one.

Not trying to be an ***, but do you have any proof other then hearsay (or first hand experience) and the butt dyno to support this?

As far as "dyno" proof, nope, none. Only what I've experienced as well as others:
https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/changing-spring-stock-bov-276067/
It's going to be something similar to pullies: Not much on the dyno but noticeable when driving.

However, it's no different than changing out the shift ****, steering wheel, or other stock components that already work fine. It's people using their money however they want to...
