Its a TIP pipe for just over £50 including postage.

What you think? worth getting one?

thanks for the reply, only forge said about these pipes or pipes like these noting being good. Might buy one + a forge one to see what the difference is as its only £50. Not dealt with Forge yet but look forward to as they have ace products so jsut wondering if they want to help out in testing there TIP vs the ebay remakes??????? need to find a dyno in kent to bash the motor on to see if any BHP etc is changed.

i dought you will see much difference between the two , you may see a difference in the long run , but the forge ones are a lot thicker and better than these ones , my mate bought a set of pipes of this zenaracing place and they are fine , only problem was that they were a bitch to fit , some of them didnt even fit , if you buy from forge you know that it is gonna be a good product , also if anything goes wrong with the hong kong one i dought they will do anything about it as they are so far away

Yeah forge onces will fit spot on as so many people have had them. saving of £100 shouldnt be bashed on the head tho. well worth testing.

How long do the forge ones last? and after a year do you get a warranty?

 

[nick-barnes07]

couldnt tell you how long the forge ones last as i havent had a car long enough to say , but i have seen some people who were running big boost with cheaper hoses like zena racing and they blew a hole in them ,

Read this ...very true

It's unwise to pay too much, but it's unwise to pay too little.

When you pay too much you lose a little money, that's is all.

When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything,

because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing

you bought it to do. The common law of business balance

prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. It can't be done.

If you deal with the lower pricing seller, it's well to add something

for the risk you run. And if you do that, you will have enough

to pay for a better service and product
