what is the difference between and emag valve and a x-valve

[blakdragon21]

what is the difference between the x-valve and emag valve? They perform the same right. both can hit 26 bps?

The Stainless Steel emag valves are heavier. The new valves are made out of alluminum, and are much lighter (and come with LX stock). All new emags come with this alluminum version now

Yes they both perform the same :)

do a search on it.

[blakdragon21]

what about performance? they are the same right? the x just ways like 2-3 oz less right?

Actually IIRC the Xvalve is only about 3 oz lighter than the E-mag valve. The back half of the emag/retro valve is already alluminum, so there isnt much left to aluminitize()
Edit: correct blakdragun
The Xvalve offers no preformance upgrades over the stock emag valve, other than coming with LX stock.

Yeah well, maybe not MUCH lighter, but still lighter

and MUCH more cooler looking :)

(yes same performance)

I thought Xmags also had an ACE system

i believe that the older retro ss valves are more reactive then the newer Aluminum ones. I've heard other people have the same problem, but mostly from my own experience
