Down to personal choice int he end, but from what i've seen on here the car can run worse than it did with the satndard recirc valve on, plus the sound can get a bit annoying after a while.

nah just swap it back if it does your head in. Depends how much you drive tbh mate. Go on youtube and listen to a few samples before you part with your cash.
its a matter of personal taste. My TypeR had one but my blob didnt.

Dont know if my ten-pence worth of info is anygood for you stevosti, but i had a forgemotorsport and as "ok" as it was and quite cheap (compared to other makes) i prefer the HKS III that H advised, better sound, not so annoying, looks better but DOES cost a fair bit more.

If you go for cheap i.e. fleabay, expect leakage and backfiring but at £30 as opposed to £265, you gets what you pay for.

What about valveless. Just remove the standard valve, blank it off and listen to the "squirrel chatter".
