ecksjay Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 bloody baileys, get some proper jap gear you muppets Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulgtt Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 whats wrong with them?i don't see the point of spending twice the amount on something that does the same job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ecksjay Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Well, they may or may not do the same job, its expelling air yes, but there's much debate on whether they actually do ANYTHING beneficial, some are in the mindset that they actually hinder the engine, which again, is open to debate.Although, my opinion on it is, jap car, jap bits, hence why the majority cringe if they see an escort with jap stickers such as 'blitz' etc littering their doors Also, there's no reason to pay twice the amount, you've just gotta be patient, and keep your eyes open The sound is also of big importance to some people. The majority of baileys valves sound very similar, meaning your lovely jubbly jap beasty is going down the road sounding like an escort rst. Alot i've heard i havent liked the sound of either, sound quite flappy, like they're there purely to make a god awful noise, as opposed to some jap items which have 'sounded' much crisper, like they serve more of a purpose.ofcourse, its all just personal preference. i wouldn't go out wasting money on a cone air filter for example, as the stock airbox does the same if not a better job in the normal location, but again, its all personal opinion and preference.That detailed enough for you?

paulgtt Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 well having had both bailey and hks on my car, i would have to say that i preferd the bailey, for the pure fact that the hks tended to sound more like a whistle.don't get me wrong it sounded good but i drew more attention with the bailey valve.however that was with a blitz filter on which made the bailey sound different anyway i have now removed the cone and it sounds better still more like the traditional "tsscchhh".anyhow normally i would buy jap parts for a jap car but that was all i could afford at the time and it does the job perfectly well.

gaz Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 like i said everyone relates the baileys to the rst "brash" sound. mine is the other baileys and does not make that sound.. sounds like a turbo xs...with paul gtt's blitz air filter i bought off him it sounds similar to a blitz bov now.ill do a video one day soon.

scutch0 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 i personally dont like the bov's that dump rediculiously loud and for a long period of time... i like the hks purely for the fact that 1, its jap... and 2, it sounds short, sharp, and purposeful.i would consider a the baileys, but would prefer to have the blitz or hks.my 2p.Rich.

lobotomy Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 It all depends on how quickly you change gear, baileys you can have a long lazy tssssssch, or a nice short "purposeful" tsch!I like the SSQV as well but they're so common around my way now that it'd be nice to have a normal sounding dump. As for the Greddy BOV it sounds a just about the same as a baileys to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
