Can someone explain to me what a tip is please?

[Scruff]

I've just done a quick search and i don't think it brought up anything particularly helpful and while i'm at work i'm not so keen on writing 'silicone tip' into google for the worry of what results that may produce

So, whats a tip?

Whats it look like?

and

How would an upgraded one benefit me?

Turbo Intake Pipe

Better airflow into the turbo basically.

Aaaaaaaaah... it all makes sense now. I had visions of it being some sort of pointy thing.

Nope, and in red it looks like it's part of a human heart. Fitting one, I guess, is not for the squeamish...

easy to fit, just take your time. i just the one-use clips on each of the outlets i struggled with

O-clip pincers make light work of the one use clips

I meant that if you're squeamish then you might have a hard time fitting a TIP because it looks like part of a human heart, not because it's a difficult thing to fit (or not as that case may be!)...

Planning on installing one myself sometime this year tho too so thanks, will bear the advice in mind.
