SFS 3" T.I.P.
Well after running the old Forge item for nigh on 5 years, i succumbed to temptation to all this talk about these new 3"TIPs. Lucky for me, SFS is just around the corner from me, and after a brief phone call managed to get the pipe for £100 cash.
Wanted to get it on asap as i hate things laying around. I wasnt expecting anything radical tbh as its only a bit of piping. A friend of a friend fitted it for me. I took it around the block and do you know what? Felt no too much different to the Forge item.
Floored it in second, same power as before. But flooring it in third was a different experience. Felt like it was pulling better. Now dont get me wrong, my car must have the lowest torque figures ever for a remapped LCR but has high BHP, and i could feel it. The TIP is not night and day different, but an improvement nonetheless.
After looking at the boost gauge playback after a few power runs, the car is holding just over 1.3 bar. Whereas before 1.2? Now something seems wrong here, but for some reason third and above gives me a good rush nowadays.
Next its exhaust time...finally
