You've got to get one its great when you're overtaking someone with their window open and you make it whoosh beside them. U can't beat the sound and they're good for the turbo too

Cars got one as standard anyway, stick with a recirc unless u just want the noise. Atmospheric ones offer little improvement if any.

I was always under the impression that a DV didnt really offer much apart from the asthetic sound, until you start gunning for bigger BHP. :?

I have a Sard DV but ive taken it off as i was thinking of either replacing it with a HKS SS DV or HKS uprated Re-circ, not made my mind up yet tho.

I do enjoy the noise from them tho, and like Little Miss Road Rage says its good fun for overtaking lol :lol:

Nad what do you think mate??

I can't decide what I like best the whoosh from my dump valve or the boom and flames when my flamer goes off.

Got the HKS SSQ, love it when dumping under low boost lots of whistly chatter just like (as somebody already said) a rally car, but annoys me that when you're really hoofing it under high boost you only get a quick whoosh noise.

Mine does dump under p1ss all boost tho, so maybe if i adjusted the nut thing on it, would that work?

I run my car without a dumpvalve. I reckon there is less lag without it :wink:

Can opened, worms everywhere :mrgreen:

I had a SSQV and a SQV both HKS and I sold them both because IMO my GFB mach 1 sounds 8) and looks 8) and the HKS is shitty plastic crap where the GFB is billet and very trick looking,very very loud even at 0.8 Bar.
I ran 1.2 Bar the other day with my Profec B and it sounded too loud 8) 8) 8) 8) not many people seem to have cottoned on to the Mach 1.
Its trick tho very very trick.

...

I think dump valves sound great and am thinking of getting the Turbo XS RFL 8). It's supposed to be the loudest one available.

It's really just a matter of personal opinion and choice.
