Appologies - have posted in General Technical, but thought I may get a quicker response on here......

Has anyone heard of, or use a Collins twin piston dv??

The garage tell me I have a leaky Bailey DV and offered a replacement as above for £100 fitted...

Should I or should't I?????

I have a collins DV. It cost me £60. No problems with it at all, and just the sound I was looking for as well.

Bladerider.......... thanks

It's not toooooooo loud is it??

Would you recommend it over any other......... or at the end of the day it is a dump valve and dump valves 'dump'??

I've done a search and a few comments mention the engine stalling initially and over time it will find it's own level.

Any experience of this??

It's just all happening and once and I don't like to rush things, yet want the car to be running smooth.

Cheers

Phil

I got a Collins dump valve fitted at the same time as a full decat Mongoose system. It dumps fairly quite at up to 3K rpm. At about 5K rpm it's loud enough to scare pensioners, small children, farm animals etc.
