If you're going to divert it, either divert it into the intake system somewhere or run a tube down and out of the engine compartment so you don't hear it.
I thought about the exhaust heading back up to the intake, but when the valve is open (cruise) the outflow is very high. I have to believe this will overcome any exhaust, which at cruise should be less than 1 psi. Under boost (in my case about 20 psi), I can't believe the exhaust will be much more than 1-2 psi at full throttle. The valve is closed at that time anyways. Maybe I'll take some back-pressure measurements before I proceed.
