I have a FORGE Dump valve on my MY99 RB5 Scoobie. It sounds great from inside the car but i know its quite quiet from the outside, even when dumping @ 7000rpm

I bought the car with this fitted (screwd directly into the intercooler), i wanted to know if i go a HKS 'Blow Off Valve' you lot know, the one that can be heard from the moon, will it just screw into the intercooler like the FORGE one ?

Any help greatly appreciated (just before i actually buy it @ £250 odd)

My mate Chris has one on his Evo 6, matched up with a 5-ZEGAN Track Exhaust (loudest illegal exhaust ever!) The valve sounds amazing. Anyone got a HKS on their Scoobie ?

Andy

Cool

I have one on my MY99 STI5, they dont bolt directly to the IC, but come with a fitting kit a flange that bolts to the IC, the DV is mounted on a supplied bracket to the right of the IC.....

This is the bolt of flange you will get... (mmmm flange! )

POC, they do silver, which is high pitched whistle(comes std with some, and sounds superb), Gold, don't know what sound it makes but it is a similar shape to the silver, so prob a similar noise, and purple, which makes a normal whoosh noise.

I've got Blitz too, HKS makes a more interseting noise, Blitz is good though.
