Question Bypass Question!

Hey Im currently running the stock ati bypass valve and I have just a quick question. I was wondering if I removed the tubing after the bypass vave in the picture and blocked off the hole going to my air intake if it would be like the race ati bypass. I just want a differnt sound when I come off of the boost. In all logic I would think that the stock bypass would be venting into the atmosphere. I want a kinda like blowoff sound but I hear that the blow off's can hurt the bearings on a supercharger. Let me hear everyone's opnions on this.

Thanks for all the input.

Here is the picture:

Alright thanks for both of the posts. I just wanted the sound to be louder when I come off the boost at high rpms. I dont really wanna spen alot more on a Bypass because im only running 8 psi. I just wanted to make sure that running the stock bypass venting into the atmosphere would be a alright idea. Thanks alot.

EDIT: Does anyone know where to get like a 2.5 vaccum cap or any ideas how to block off the bypass valve inlet on the air intake? Gonna need something big to cover the hole.
