which BOV is better, HKS or GREDDY?

These are the two models I'm comparing:

HKS Super Sequential blow off valve kit -
1987-92 Mazda RX7




GReddy Blow Off Valve Kit - Type RS blow off valve kit
1987-92 Mazda RX-7 turbo models

Man, everyone around here has the SSQV. I've been hearing lots of them lately from Evo's, STi's and SRT4's. I say get the GReddy Type RS. It sounds like a sneeze, followed by a shrill. Type S is just a shrill. Can't seem to find a video right now, but the turkey goble rerouted sounds so funny.

I would NEVER buy the SSBOV again...the damn thing sounds like a squeaking noise...and it causes annoying compressor surge when driving gently.

If you buy it ... get used to boost gooble gooble

I would like to meet the little asian man that thought that noise was cool....and put a speaker in his pillow so he has to listen to it every night he sleeps!
