What's the difference between a Forge 007 and a cheap ebay £35 one?
« on: 02 May 2014, 21:18 »
What is the actual difference can someone explain? Apart from the obvious it's not branded. Does it not sound as good, does it mess with your boost?

£34.99

The standard revision 710 valve is about £30 from the dealers.

its because the oem airbox with the dv just gets a hissing sound, soon as u plonk an open cone on you get 'whooshing' and 'tisshh' noises my very technical terminology there :tongue:  to further increase sound remove the junk from the bonnet u can hear the dump coming up the street
