Yes, a dumpvalve is an excellent idea on an STi.
That's why they come out with one as standard.
If you fit an aftermarket one, you void your warranty - and gain very little, if anything.

People fit aftermarket ones because either the original broke or they want it to make a noise.

The original one is located to the front right of the intercooler (big black thing on top of your engine ).

A recirce valve will be better than an atmospheric one. If its the woosh sound you want then go for the atmospheric type.. if its performance you want then go for a recirce type.
