greddy sounds like a damn toy if u ask me. Get the HKS, beautiful sound

 

i have a greddy and it sounds like a bird dying....the hks has a high pitch whislte....they both are good bovs. im not sure which 1 is better though.

 

Can't go wrong with HKS

 

my hks does not make a high pitch whistle sound. Just a plain ol WHOOSh of air and maybe a tiny chirp at the end.

 

mines make both i dont think ur pushing enuff psi for the high pitch sound intekagsr but i dunno....i have hks and i modified it so it makes more of the whoosh of air like a blitz but louder.....

 

I sold my HKS for the Type S

 

I like the hks because the way it works it will blow off daily driving on low boost and light throttle. yet it will still hold 30psi of boost and not leak. you kind of get the best of both worlds. most other blow off valves that hold high boost have a really stiff spring to hold 20+psi and they dont blow off on light throttle. the hks is a push pull type so it will hold 500+ hp but will also blow off on light throttle so you dont get any compressor surge.

 

how about greddy type R? can i use with low booste(12psi daily)?

 

isn't the ssq known to leak because of the c-clip retainer?? i think it was covered here https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=270185 i have a type-s sitting here in my room

 

I like to type-s me personally. I like the higher pitch sound, but i didn't know the type-s could cause compressor surge.

 

Type S hands down...all my friends that HAD the HKS switched to Type S once they heard mine and all my other friends

 

i get slight compessor surge with my type s

 

get the type R. I have one that needs to go for $175, brand new.

 

I've been doin alot of searching and am goin with the Greddy type S. Now who here can give me a good deal on it?

 

I can, 200 shipped with flange.

 

Can anyone beat his price!!

 

i can.

 

which one is louder overall at the same boost level?

 

What kind of deal can you get me on a type r with flange?

 

oh yeah, i never had a problem with my hks ssq, if anything just run a bead of silicone or sealant on the flange.

 

Type-S by far.

 

HKS SSQ.

 

hks is for higher boost applications and greddy is for lower psi. Hks sounds better though imo.
