Default Diverter Valve...which one in your opinion??

So I am going to order a new dv today. Just wanted to see what other people think about these two. I am leaning towards the first one because it is also a blow off.

oh yeah if you want the "bov" sound, just replace your air intake with a cone intake and you can hear something.......

Before the who DV/BOV "discussion" starts up again, in MY opinion (just an opinion, people, don't get all bent out of shape please), you should stick with a DV and skip the whole BOV idea. As I see it, the car is designed to run with a DV, so use one. Will a BOV hurt your car? Some say yes, some say no, I say why risk it?

But, one thing I am sure most can agree on is that MOST (not all) of the stuff on ebay is usually junk. You get what you pay for...

With that being said, if you're set on using ebay, I think the second link would be the better of your two options, but that was just after a quick look. I didn't really look into either of them very deep.

forget the BOV. That first link that claims its a BOV doesnt even look like one - there is no "flare" portion to give that "airhorn" effect....

Technically its not a bov, the parallel arm screws off of it from what I could see. Which I could get the same effect from the second one by not hooking up the parralel arm.
