no difference other than the trumpet in design, but the DV36 make a crap noise, certainly not louder as Baileys suggest
 they sound like an asmatic smoker wheezing.

I took Byron out in my Coupe and he was really impressed with the noise of the dump valve. I pointed out to him that it was the OE DV making that noise - with the help of the Apexi cone filter. You don;t need an aftermarket DV to have a loud dump noise.

I would recommend the Apexi Filter to anyone. The noise was mental.  Its now on my 'to do' list

I took my filter off as the noise turbo spinning up all the time was anoying after a while.
With the dump valve fitted you hardly hear the turbo spin up. |
