The pic looks like the one I currently run but if your not sure and want piece of mind just ask the seller if it'll fit your engine code h.t.h.

Cannot be sold as new as the Forge logo is damaged.... Sounds fishy to me mate! I am cynical but sounds to me like a cheapo with the logo removed and replaced with a shoddy Forge logo. It may well be ok and do the job fine but I would say get one from Forge or a reputable supplier (pricey) or if your on a butget get a CM one as suggested above, the quality of te CM ones might not be the same but at least they are a reputable company that you can go to if you get any problems.

If it was me I would buy once and buy right I tried the cm one on my LCR although I'm happier with it it took a lot of messing to get it right just wish I had gone for the sfs or badger one

May be different on the lc but on the r it puts a kink in the tip quite bad so a lot of trimming is need to take the kink out

Sfs one was 25 more for the r but 21days waiting and I'm impatient! Lol

Have you seen how restrictive the standard one is?

I got my tip from volksbits cost £70 and was soooooo easy to fit as it was my first attempt it took me 30 mins. My friend has the cm and you do need to do some cutting but my one fitted so sweet every inlet was the right height so dv didn't rub on bonnet sound proofing which the cm one did. But for the money of the volksbits one no complaints at all

I am a novice to DIY . I like to make a go of things though. Bought the cm one . Quality is excellent. I had to trim about 10mm off to get it to fit. No biggy that took two min. But fitting took me 4 hours. Yes I know. It was a hot day , I was getting frustrated. Once it was on I took it for a spin. I didn't notice any power gains but bloody hell the sound is totally different . I thought I had done something wrong as it sounds like it will suck my feet in. Makes the turbo sound bigger than it is. Ha.

Same here, fitting took me way too long and I've managed to damage the TIP using a screwdriver to push it in place. I was getting frustrated too haha (also have the one from Volksbits). Sound is way different (read: better, beefier) an my butt dyno said it had a little bit more powah.

When I fitted mine I got my mate to push down on the tip from the top of the engine bay whilst I was underneath guiding it on went on really easy one thing on mine the inlet nearest the maf was soooooo tight couldn't get the plug all the way in not sure what it is either
