Default Don't waste your money on either, get the uprated Bosch Valves

You can get them from www.hoppenmotorsport.com/bypass.htm , and theyre only $46. I believe if your dealership can determine your stock ones are bad, these are the one's they'll put in under warranty...

Default There is one possible issue with the Bailey Valves

Be sure to use high temp RTV sealant on the vac nipple threads. Otherwise they can leak. IMHO the bailey's are the best though.

The Forge's piston stick and while it's being corrected, I hate the idea of my car being the test bed

The OEM upgrade vavles are still rubber diaphram based and with oil being dumped into the intake tract coupled with high temps, I feel there is possibility of them tearing.

The Bailey's rock, just make sure the vac nips don't leak.
