Question Quiet BOV

So i have a turbo xs BOV that came with car and it is freakin loud. Now this might be fun when I was 17 but a bit older and i am really not looking to announce to the world I have a turbo.

So what are my options?

I am looking for something quite...NOT SILENT, but quite, no whistles but a soft sneeze and not give up on performance.

Does anyone have any personal experiences to share or advice?

Any recirc system is much more silent. The stock FD bov is my reccomendation. Just plum the output of the bov into your turbo intake pipe.

Old school HKS Bov. I'll never switch. It's such a smooth sound and it suites the car perfectly

Stock FD just perfect! I don't like my car sounding like a door opening on the original Starship Enterprise!

I've got an old school Greddy type S and it's very quiet as well. The HKS SSQV is definitely a lot louder.

The Syncronic BOV is supposedly pretty quiet and basic as well.
