Default Inline BOV?

I was looking online when I stumbled upon these inline BOVs. Anyone know if they work well?

IDK what an inline BOV is, maybe a link would help but I would think its a recirculating BOV and they will work fine, just cant hear them.

I just did some searching and all I could come up with was the bov offered by Steed Speed. Looks like a neat design/idea but I don't like how it attaches to the charge pipes. I'd like to hear what they sound like.

they work very well, the pipes just slide into them, there is an o-ring and you use set screws to secure them, they will hold 1-200psi without blowing out. by far the best BOV option out there IMHO

The only issue I have is that I would like to recirculate the excess air pressure. Debating on if it really matters that much. The other option is to get the flange and pipe for a BOV and have it welded to the aluminum piping I have. I need to decide if there is going to be that much benefit to recirculation.

On our cars, there is not much benefit, some imports require it or they will stall when lifting from boost to idle.

If you don't need to recirculate, that has to be just about the quickest, easiest to install BOV I have ever seen. Everything else needs flanges and other pipes or couplers and possibly welding and blah blah blah. It's fascinating to watch it operate for some reason.

If the orifices are around the circumference of the inner tube it also probably works much faster than a traditional BOV with one single orifice. That is very interesting.

That's a turbocharged Trailblazer I6 in a '51 Chevy truck. GM engine in a GM truck. Rice.
