Silicone TIP's

[james.l]

Been looking at getting a silicone TIP for my LCR, but there seems to be a lot of company's making these from various places (China, USA, UK) I don't want to pay the extortionate price of £140 from forge. Has anyone used any of the others? Any reviews?

A Few i have found

Anyone point me in the direction of a decent one at a decent price?

[james.l]

what did you pay in import duty?

 

[nutter_engineer]

none, they didnt declare the full.

 

[james.l]

might give that one a spin then, at £57 delivered that's nearly £100 less than the forge one.

Do you know the specs? Ply etc?

 

[Seat Gooner]

Danny is correct, THS no longer sell silicone hoses. I bought a set of water hoses last month, and that was all they had left

gutted........ lucky I got all mine when I did then! Sorry for the cr@p advice fellas

 

[wayne lcr]

james theres a load or red hoses for sale on ebay ive stuck to forge and no probs

i'd like to know if these tip's are any good. been looking at the ones from china and thinking that one of these must be ok for a stage 1 map on a LC???

got to be better that oem hasn't it?

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

That autobahn88 silicon is ok, I got the TB pipe on my LC and if it wasn't for the badge you wouldn't tell it apart from my Forge pipes, both about same thickness and ply

 

[Gubien]

Dont buy the cheap ones, they WILL colapse under WOT. But cheap buy twice! Been there, done that, got the t-shirt, returned it etc... LOL

 

[Wolvotim]

was just thinking that there are people out there running stage 1 boost on oem tip's.

was just thinking they've got better than oem

Can't really say that. Just because it's happened to you doesn't mean it will happen to everyone. As wolvotim has said, some people are on the standard tip with a remap. Personally i'd go with a forge/samco/sfs. Say something does goes wrong with it - how long will it be to send it back to china and get a replacement?

Hi mate,

I know its a bit of money, but the forge one is a good piece of kit. fitted really well in place of the original.

I'd say its worth the extra cash for piece of mind.
