Hi, was wondering whats the best dump valve i can get for my impreza 98 version 4? I dont want anything which sounds too over the top but something noticeable. Was thinking about the HKS SSQV but been watching a few vids on youtube and it sounds pretty loud? Any suggestions and where i can get them from cheap enough. Preferably something with a fitting kit. Thanks

 

Anything other than the HKS sounds a bit chavvy mate..the HKS gives a nice sharp chirp sound which just sounds awesome with a nice flat 4 rumble

 

I have a Turbosmart re-circulating dump valve which I would argue is the least chav system of all firstly:

as when you are driving normally you can not really hear it just a faint psst but when you open the car really up the dump valve is nice and loud and atmospheric

secondly it actually is useful on the car as opposed to most Dump valves as it is a re-circ type so the engine is not running rich (which can occur with normal purely atmospheric DV's) when fitted. All the cars sensors etc contine reading correctly with re-circ

thirdly its adjustable as you car gets to higher state of tune.

Dont think you can go wrong with either the HKS, Blitz or Turbosmart highend dumpvales cost a bit more but worth it. (my opinion sure others will say £9.99 items are great)

 

the best dump valve came with your car as standard

 

agreed i put a vta on my type r an it seemed to run lumpy at mid throttle so i reverted back to my recirc regards tony

 

HKS SSQV all the way its not that loud but gives an absolutely quality sound espescially in the tunnels

 

I put a forge dump valve on me type R and its def not OTT. It gives a very sharp & subtle chirp. Would def reccommend

 

i used to have a baileys on my old scooby but wanted to change it as had few probs with it. im def considering the hks but dont want to be dissapointed with it when i get it. ummmm.... .

 

(opens door and whispers) FORGE VTA (shuts door and goes back to the sofa)

 

 

Spot on

The HKS SSQV is classed a a BOV rather than a DV.

 

I'll vouch for the Forge vta.
