Default Diverter Valves

Is one brand of diverter valve any better than the others? I have seen them made by Evo, Bailey (?), and Dansk.

I am new to the 996TT world and looking to upgrade some basics.

Attached is a pic of my car, which I bought just two weeks ago.

Congrats on the car man!!! Very nice, I just love yellow Turbos!!.
As per your questions, I am not positive or a mechanic, but I don't think there is much difference in the companies... I know Bailey and Evo are great companies so I wouldn't expect either to be bad...
I personally have the Evos and have never had a problem, they are great quality.

Evan K.

We sell a ton of Evos and the design is about 10% more efficient in dumping then the others. That and the neck swivels 360 degrees on a 90 so install is a snap and no binding of the hose to the upper shelf.

Eric:

Thanks. I found the car on eBay, but I drove to Houston to see it before I bought it. I do love it, but I "need" to do a few things to it.

Cool

Evan:

I had 6 spoke HREs on my yellow NSX (long since totaled). I loved the combination.

The wheels on my TT are Gemballa Competition 2 piece 18s -- 12 in rear and 9 in front. Tires are 235/40 and 315/30. The rears still rub on really hard bumps, so I need to have the fenders attended to (they were cut back some by the prior owner.).

My car is lowered, too. That is part of the problem with the rubbing. Do yours rub at all?

Last, I see that you have the PSS9s on order. What made you choose that set?

Very cool man...
No I have not had ne rubbing, but my wheels are only 11's in the rear...
Choose the PSS-9's because, I heard H&R weren't great, and all the others are just too damn expensive. I am not looking to spend 3-4K on coilovers.
Regards and congrats again
Evan
