afternoon all !
i have just recently purchased an 05 wrx, this is my first one (i am best part wetting myself with excitement) i pick it up in one week, just waiting for the service and all that malarki !

i have formerly been a ford man and after having a 2wd sierra cosworth i foung the best noise from a dump valve was the original that was on it (known as the recuirculating valve or summat ?!)
all i was told to do was open up one end of it and put a bung in the other pipe and i have to admit it sounded great really loud and throaty !

my dilema is this is the biggest amount of money i have spent on a new toy and i dont fancy knackering it before well...... actually i dont fancy knackering it at all.

does anybody know if this will work to a 2005 wrx?
will it hurt my car?
how do i do it ?
should i leave well alone and grow up?

cheers !!

 

GROW UP!

Nah only joking mate.

Welcome to Scooby ownership, your wetting yourself already?
You hav'nt even got the bleeding thing,lol.

Your'll soon learn the scooby grin is hard to shift.

Cant help with your question, most people on here will say stick with original and that the whoosh sound is so chav.
I disagree and mines loud as.

Enjoy the car mate.

 

"Use the search luke"





Sound cool, maybe. Bugger car, probably

 

ive got a bailey dump valve ,sounds great .some say it makes the engine idle badley or not so responsive,cant say ive ever noticed.anyway welcome luke and may the force be with you

 

Ive got a bailey dv12 which was fitted to my WRX 05 for sale if your interested.

65 quid delivered
its about 3 months old.

 

get a dump valve without question

 

I had a unknown dump valve on my RX7, was incredibly loud around 120+db's and sounded like someone had fired a gun

Each to their own, personally I won't be going for one but I don't see anything wrong with em, I heard the recirculating ones are the best as they match the originals but I am sure I have seen some hybrids that vent to air and recirculate so you can choose to vent 100% to air or only 50% while recirculating the remainder.

Enjoy

 

I would stab myself in the neck with a screwdriver before ever fitting one to a car of mine.

 

i get the feeling this is a long unresolved argument !

the initial reason for my question was that of .... does anybody know if the original ( manufactures ) dump vavle can be made / converted to dump ?

i have tried to search but as of yet no answer found!!

and the more i read i am begining to wonder if is worth it, just go out and play in it !!!

 

What a great help with regards to the original question that was
