My V6 Type R has the standard sti top mount and recirc valve but i'd like something louder that is VTA, the louder the better.

Not looking to break the bank with an HKS jobby so can someone recommend a cheaper alternative? I've read the Bailey ones are crap, and the forge ones seem good but too quiet.

I'm running an airbox and panel filter so I know that doesnt help with noise so whats the best budget alternatives?

hks ssqv and turbo smart are expensive but with good reason they are the best and forge motorsport would be my next choice. i,ve had both all are top quality items with great sound! bailey is ****.

 

i reccomend the factory fit item because you will only end up refitting it anyway so save your money

 

lol was waiting for that one

Here we go again

 

They all sound ****e.
Why would you want your car to sound like a bus anyway FFS?

It'd be better if they shouted "ARRRRSE" Father Jack style.

 

This gets my vote

 

coz thats what "I" want on "my" car

 

Had a version 4 sti recirc valve on my old classic and it was very loud but i put that down to the induction kit and fmic.

You can pick the ssqv up on here fairly cheaply mate

 

That's because a lot that have been floating around have been cheap copies sold by unscrupulous members

I'd say Forge (if you have to have a chav horn) but if it's not loud enough I'd maybe wire a little microphone up (like what TV presenters wear) to the dump port and wire it into your headunit/speakers. Then you have an adjustable sound that you can turn up or down, windows up or down and can thus control the amount of attention you receive.

 

The hks ssqv would be best one imo, a few traders on here might have one.

 

what sort of price should I be paying for a genuine hks second hand?

 

Tial bov ftw

 

i had a forge vta once upon a time. It sounded like someone sneezing. Put your money elsewhere.
