i just bought a greddy type s, had a hard time finding one since they dont make em anymore but i love the sound. im guessing you are referring to the factory dump valve(DV)? whats you trick, sounds interesting!
i want atomospheric, and a happy ecu!

2.5" The blow off sound is awesome. It would be really loud if it was atmospheric. Plus the car goes pig-rich when you dump atmospheric on a MAF car. I have an Alta atmospheric BOV if you want to but it ;-) Plus if you want to do away with the factory DV there is a trick to keep the ecu happy...

Updates - It's A Love or Hate Thing!
Went from this:
To this:
Specs on wheels are Ti Model RE 18"x8" w/ 40mm offset. Had to take off front spacers. Definitely gives a wider stance! The photos kind of hide the matching orange stripe in my beltline. My good friend Mark (OrangeCrush) is telling me to go with an orange roof, but I think I need to let this sink in for awhile first!
Whatcha think?

I would ditch the orange beltline however. It makes the car look cut in half from a distance. You're better off with an orange roof or roof rail stripe like the Laurel edition than the beltline orange. my 2 cents.

i should be able to keep the stock dv and have a atomospheric bov without going into limp mode, right?

This is my opinion, but the aggressiveness of an accent color is inversely proportional to the amount of accent color needed.
Too much of a good thing is never a good thing (think of walking out of chinese after eating the WHOLE plate)! You car would look supurb with just the mirror caps and wheels (love the wheel choice btw). The pin stripping detail is nice, but the beltine tips the edge into cheesy mini/beetle owner realm.
If MY clubman were brown with badass safety cone orange wheels/mirrors, my next mods would be euro arches, a little bit cooler side scuttle w/ smoked lens, and I'd change the gas cap to a justacooper lid, or go with matte black to match the door handles. Finally Joeymod the headlights so you have only brown/awesome orange/black colors on the outside.
Got any interior shots?

The beltline is two-toned: Upper & lower section in Polar Beige & center in Orange - It ties in the Polar Beige from the interior and pin stripes and the orange also ties in with the pin stripes and now the wheels and mirror caps. It looks much better in person than it does in the photos. It's a keeper for now.
Here's a couple of the interior:
Covered the armrest lid in Polar Beige leather and added HC shifter and e-brake handles & boots:
A little Polar Beige accent on the door pulls. I also have a small orange graphic on the secret compartment door.
And here's one more overall shot of the interior. Basic HC Lounge w/ Polar Beige Colorline and English Walnut trim, anthracite headliner, interior Chrome pkg.
And one more view of the rear showing a better view of the pin stripes:
HC taillight surrounds and bumper top WOULD like nice! Talk about a money pit!

I'd take off that rear tow hook. I took mine off the front of mine last wednesday to clean it off and on thursday while I was letting it dry, I rear-ended a van who got T-boned. Luckily I just have a long scratch the length of its bumper, but I hate to think what that tow hook would have done. Just a suggestion.

Just fitted my Aero Bumper and colour coded arches, must say I'm liking this look
