Well most people will say stay stock. which is prob best option if you do want a little noise then get one that is 50/50. 50 atmos 50 back to intake.

good ones are push pull type as in HKS but that is only 100% atmos

for fuel economy stock one is the best

Actually, HKS does sell a kit to convert a ATMO SSQV BOV into a full plumb-back model.

Stick with the OEM BOV. If you want a bit more noise from it, remove the in guard resonator from the intake path. Makes the OEM Valve clearly audible. But not as loud as any after market full atmo BOV. And with this method, it wont ruin your fuel economy.

yep and spend the $300+ you would have spent on the Aftermarket atmo BOV on a Silicone Intake Pipe and you'll get a killa sounding stocker mate
