hi all is there a cheaper alternative to the hks dump valve im wanting the same sort of sound thanks

 

sorry for a classic that is my94

 

Theres plenty on ebay which look identical for a fifth of the price, whether there any good or not I don't know.

I just went for a SARD r2d2 to be different, + I do like the sound of it!

yes mate it sounds quite good, currently got a baileys but after something differnt sounding ive head a few about with like a wistle sounded really nice but no idea what brand they are?

 

if your wanting a loud dumpvalve then go for the turbo xs, it makes the turbosmart megasonic sound lame its stupidly loud think it costs about £150, it supposed to be the loudest valve avaliable

 

although that sounds good thanks mate im not so much wanting the loudness just something that doesnt sound like a baileys the one i heard was more of a chirp/wistle sound sounded great

 

the forge motorsport sounds pretty sweet look good under the bonnet and i dont think there too pricey

 

If you want quality build, reliability and the sound then just shell out for the HKS SSQV, by far the best on the market IMO.

Think it's a Greddy type s your after. Search on you tube for it.

 

will have a look cheers mate meanwhile ive found one with the sound i like its a go fast bits wrx stealth fx but is 240 quid & says its for 01 on sounds great tho

 

surely the hks is the one to go for at that price. i have the older ssqv on my99 sti5 and think it sounds better than the newer one with the lines down the side, had that one on my 03 sti.

 

Forge, I always hear good things about them, I would rather go for quality than quantity.

For 240 you can get a HKS SSQV, imo they are the closest thing to a rally style chirp and they work at all levels changing sounds as the boost pressure alters. But I would advise getting the recirculating kit for them (most US tuning sites/ebay have em), the kit works very well imo and stops your car over fueling/misfiring (which can lead to damage).

I have a basic v6 ecu map to cope with it and works really well, get no misfires or problems - bov are not to everyone's taste but I have always thought turbo's and bov's go hand in hand.
