Bailey Valve Problem?

Has anyone ever had one of these go bad? I just recently installed mine and it seems that my car is now making a coke bottle sound. Is this my bailey valve making this noise? BTW, the sound is deep and vibrates the dash, it only happens intermittently and mostly under light throttle. If i let off the gas as soon as i hear it the sound immediately goes away. Thanks for any help

Dave

Yes, I know of one personally and seen posts of two others who've had Bailey's fail...

...I don't know the circumstances of those or how to diagnose your problem though.

doesnt sound like a valve problem but, call AWE if its the valve, they are lifetime warrantied!

i would check all air lines from turbo to throttle body, and also wastegate line!
