looks like a straight up ripoff of the greddy design, they even say greddy parts will work in them. I mean hell, at this price it sounds nice. I mean even if you break the crappy diaphgram you just replace with a quality greddy diaphram and STILL be under the original purchase price of a real greddy type-s....

or

 

try it and let us know
only thing i would be concerned about would be the spring and diaphragm like you mentioned...

 

eh, im not sure. you can get a used real type s for only like 30 to 50 bucks more, or even a dsm 1st gen which works wonderfully for substantially less than the greddy knock off.

 

anyone know of a good site that has good sound clips? ive got a dsm but i want a greddy but im real curious bout the sound. i allways hear that the greddy sounds similiar to the dsm..

ive heard good things about them! But when you get it take it apart and there are two spings. Take out the smaller one or it will be too stiff. But then again if you look around you can find a good deal on a real type s. I got one with 200 miles on it for $65 and i cant even tell it was ever used.

 

Hey,
I got 1 of them and it was worthless, I was happy at first because of the price but it did nothing.
At idle it would not close and when it was suppose to swish it didnt, yes it has 2 springs just like the greddy , it is identical as the type S Except for the diaphram.
My feeling is if you were to buy 1 replace the diaphram with a greddy.
Another problem, doing what i just said puts you up around the same price as the real thing.
My theory in life is do it right do it once, Dont try to save money on a knock off, think about the ss autochrome manifold crap, been there!

pssst, it's not supposed to.

 

The Greddy type S instructions state to adjust it so that its closed at idle.
Not arguing, just throwing that out there.

 

I believe the type of material used in the pistons wears out quicker than usuall and starts to leak!! I thinks its cheap brass.

 

I ordered a race pulley from RVM (the second link) a year ago for my LS and they took forever. I called them a few times, but no one picked up. After 2 1/2 weeks later, I noticed that those bastards refunded my money back into my checking account and browsed again on their eBAY store...they no longer have the pulley I originally ordered. All they sold now was some 22"+ chrome spinner rims. I'm like whut the f**k?!!!

 

they r trash
