Dump valve

[greeley]

thinking of fitting a dump valve to my truck,any one done this,does it sound any good on these and also does a stainless exhaust sound any good and make much difference performance wise.

Is yours a manual gearbox then?

Dump valve is a waste of time on an Automatic.

SS Exhaust with a larger bore and some kind of de-restricted inlet, may make a small ammount of difference.

no mines auto,i only thought after,would be pointless on an auto as you dont really let off the accelerator as such,not like manual anyway

[funkykebab]

The turbos in the Surfs are low pressure are they not?

if they are then a dump valve would not be great....the dump valave I had fitted to my saab turbo only came to life when I converted it from LPT to a FPT running 1.5bar of boost......before you could not even here it!

yeah,shit idea,im not fittin a dump valve,ta peeps

The exhaust is a good idea, got a powerflow system on my 3.0 G3 and it sounds fairly cool. Not too loud just makes a nice noise, problem is that since fitting a cone fliter and removing the airbox I can't hear anything other than filter suck.

THink the airbox will probably go back on next time I have a spare few hours.

I like the noise of a dump valve, it sounds cool BUT only when it is associated with a vehicle that is accelerating away from you at serious rate of knots.

You wouldn't want to be tarred with the same brush as them tw*ts who have them bolted to their Bora TDi's.

And they won't work on an automatic vehicle.

and its just so....

crap!

Yep, even on a vehicle that's accelerating away from you at a rate of knots. You just sound / look like a tw@t who's watched too many F&F movies.

Much cooler to go stealth with a recirculating one.

After a few pints of spitfire I should be fitted with a dump valve

crap!

Isn't that why it's called a dump valve?

[gwh200]

There's a punto bear me with a fully body kitted pinto...big Barry boy exhausts etc. Because this punto is only a 1.0 litre, it has some sort of sound effect/ electronic/ whack off in your sock dump valve noise. It makes me chuckle.
