Do you have a constant whistle from the BoV? I would think the AA kit is the loudest (whistle) at partial throttle. It has the BOV that vents to atmosphere instead of recirculating into the intake, so you will hear a constant whistle.
I will chime in here....

I originally had a AA SC installed on my daily driver. Personally, it got old quickly. The system has three BOV's and the constant hiss was too much for me. There are many who find it appealing and like that aspect, but it comes down to personal choice. Partial throttle, full throttle....it was always there. I simply couldn't handle it. I sold the setup and moved to ESS and couldn't have been happier. Many have spoken about the ESS system and how it feels like a stock setup and I would personally support that claim from my own experience. In addition to the noise, there were other factors that had me favour the ESS over the AA, but we will leave those items out as you wanted feedback on the BOV.

Best of luck with your decision.
