After running the standard DV for a few days , can safely say its better than the forge. Theres way more crispy action going on with the OEM unit
Took mine out today with its new standard valve.
Definitely better than with the forge.
A lot quieter aswell.
So other than a slight note on idle and when flat out from the exhaust, its no different from standard.

So I’ve stripped all the sound matting out to dry it out - only started off changing the radio!

Question is whilst I’m there is it worth doing anything else? I know dyno mat is over rated but is it worth replacing the stock insulation with something better?
Or anything else to do whilst everything is out - apart from a clean and doing the door seals - I need new components front and rear anyway.

Ideal time if you're going loud stereo with amps and all that 👍

Only when I got old enough and understood more did I realise why my dad called them bullshit

It's like Monty Python in that part - intake or exhaust manifold?

African or European swallow?

If you've gone that far mate I'd throw in a selection of Silent Coat products, decent quality and cheaper than the bigger well known brands.
I've used it on several cars over the years and my Leon is almost completely covered in it.

Any recommendations on products and places to read about installation etc? Don’t really fancy putting all the old insulation back in but it’s fairly thick so guess it needs to?
