Question Who made the best Diverter Values

I am thinking to replace those diverter Valves on my GT2 to eliminate those Honking sound, but there are several brand around in the market, which one good? Can someone recommend?
Thanks.......

Diverter valves

Choose either Bailey or Evo. You can´t go wrong with either.

Are you experiencing a loss of power/boost?

I have not heard or seen any problem with the Bailey diverter valves. Hardest part of the whole thing is to get the courage to start removing the little hoses that you can't see in the front of the engine bay . I do not think you will have any problems with either.

Besides occas honking, you may experience inconsistent part- throttle response . That's what I had until I changed mine out and now my throttle tip-in response is always crisp.

Thats what happen to mine, under partial-heavy acceleration I do some occasionally honking sound from lower gears. I hope is that Diverter values issue that causing the problem. But I didn't notice any power loss though; hope the new Diverter values will solve the problem.

If you get the honking while under partial-heavy acceleration, then they are probably leaking. I was getting the honking while under half-acceleration or so (sometimes under WOT from low gears). I bought and installed the Bailey Diverter valves and haven't had the problem sense. I was able to physically blow into (with my lungs) and hear the air leak through the stock valves.
