for people looking at creations motorsport TIP.. look inside before you buy

[Derekm2104]

Ah nuts. Just ordered one of these. Was the only place who could get me one quick enough for the car going in for some work. Heard about them not being the best fit but that's something else.

I couldn't find a Badger5 one for my auq when I was looking. Just cupra R from Badger5

+1 mine too.

Tbf something doesn't seem right about this It's the only Tip I have seen end up like that from C.M everyone had a little moan about fitting but tbf 99% of these run ok after being fitted properly.Hopefully your just unlucky bud but don't right them off yet as they have offered a replacement which alot of companys wouldnt be so forthcoming.

That red tape almost looks like insulation tape from the picture.

I emailed them and explained and sent the photo and they said they will send a replacement on receiving mine back,problem is I don't have the original and I can't have the car off the road yet

Wouldn't a replacement just do the same thing though. You'll find yourself back here again, I thought SFS weren't that great but that's clearly not up to standards

By the looks of it its just a one off problem but on mine you can actually see the fibre material between layers through the redsilicone at the top,really poor and what looks like red tape is actually the silicone unbonding from the layers

 

[M20FES]

I'd get the replacement, sell it as new and put the money towards a B5 one ?

These are manufactured in the hundreds and this is the first time i have ever seen one collapse like that, keep us informed

a mate has the CM crankcase breather pipes fitted to his AUM golf and they are starting to look like that TIP, the silicone is looking a bit baggy. I will get some pics tomorrow.

CM TIP V Forge, notice the difference in size at Turbo end, like they say you get what you pay for, Believe the latest SFS hose is also larger at turbo end.

Andy the link didn't work but is be interested to see the comparison! I'm not writing off CM but I think people deserve to see what happens to a defective item, especially in relation to it being attatched to one of the most important parts of the engine.

 

[ReDBull]

Is this the picture you where trying to post?

I think Niki posted it on FB. A while ago.

 

[spanner87]

Oh I see,that's a crazy difference.... Lol.looks like forge is getting my money then

 

[Richy Cupra]

Iv also had my CM one on for nearly a year with no problems. Just one of the dodgy ones off the production line you got there

The SFS are also supposed to be good.

Yes thats the link, working for me strange
From what i can gather the latest SFS TIP is like the Forge not seen any comprarison pictures to confirm this yet

 

[tom t]

Most probably unlucky tbf.

 

[vroomtshh]

Most probably unlucky tbf.

Or, the couple of people who have no problems have been lucky?

How many of these have Forge, SFS, and badger 5 sold, and I've never seen mention of any of them melting.

Like I've said many times before, creation appear to have no quality control whatsoever.

Anyone buying the brake caliper adapters they sell must be mental
