Better sound (not as loud as BOV, but sounds nice) and less stress for engine, because you're avoiding the recirculated air to the manifold

It's been working great for years. I just use chair caps to close off the dump tube locations. The whooshes are decently loud lol.

No I don't think so. I hated the dump tubes the forge Dv came with so I thought of this solution to dump to atmosphere. Iv had these on for 4 years and they still have never been rebuilt. I did upgrade the vacuum lines to 4mm which made them a little more responsive.
