Default Bypass Valve Question

Been looking at upgrading my bypass valve. Been looking at a couple in general. I currently have the standard plastic procharger valve. I am considering these valves. At my boost level I have really not exceeded what the standard valve is capable of I just have a little surging here and there...

ATI Race Bypass Huge and loud as hell. (no need for all the noise.)
Mondo Bypass (exceeds my current needs I think) Flow 550
ATI pro flow valve (dont know if its any different than the plastic one I have)
Vortech mini race bypass (flow 320/330)

What does the ATI pro flow valve flow in comparison to the mini race valve...

Its a real pretty valve I just know where the hell I could fit it on a twin intercooler setup... From some of the clips I`ve heard its awful loud...
Is the proflow the same as the standard plastic valve? What is the flow rating of that pro flow bypass. I heard there had been some problems with them when they first came out dont know how true that is?

This is how mine is mounted. You will get use to the noise, and its not that bad.

Some people put it on the driverside where the rubber hose from the stock bypass valve goes to the intercooler tubing. Local exhaust shop can do it for you. And then use this http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?actio...C40&lpage=none to cap off the inlet hat on the blower.

I'm happy with the Mondo and with it dumped back into the blower inlet, it's silent.

When I put it on it was more than I needed but now I'm catching up. If I had gone smaller I would have lost money selling the used one.

Thats looks good 1-bad-Z and is where i would mount mine too,I am only running the black procharger one that goes under the car and i was thinking about running another one on the other side, but my friend has a GN and he has a all polished BOV like the one U have, but its a diferent brand, a good brand though, and is good for a lot of power , sounds cool not to loud, its got a life time garentee on it , and i t goes for like $250

You can also use the Mondo vented to the atmosphere and cap it off with an air filter to quiet it off.
