ALTA diverter issues

Has anyone out there tried the ALTA diverter valve with poor results?
I had one and wonder if I'm alone

I had a problem with the internal rubber plunger tearing but after a quick email to alta, they replaced that part.

I still don't think that the blowoff sound is any louder than the stock unit. Everyone tells me otherwise but to me, the stock is more noticeable.

alta diverter

Mine works well. Make sure that the screws are short enough. Otherwise it won't seat.

Also Indimanic your NAM inbox is full. Can you send me the diagram of your engine plumbing.

thanks, DR
