Post by: Wes350x on February 19, 2014, 11:47:15 PM: Well, just my preference I guess. Everywhere I've read is that the 2's flows slightly better than the 3's. Prob not a noticeable difference.

Post by: udontknowme on February 20, 2014, 08:16:39 PM: v3 and v4 seem to both do well in the short term. havent had any problem with either one yet. not sure about long term. most likely they wont last as long as the thick fiberglass stuff. should last a couple years i would think unless you log 20hrs every weekend then maybe change em sooner

the diference i noticed is the leading edge on the divider. v3 was more round . v4 is sharper

I dropped them an email too. Maybe if some interest is shown they'll design them for us. I run the rad valve now and I'm happy with it but I would like to have another option available. I like the new technology!
