Lot better free flowing.

Easier to use a narrow jubilee clip.

Are the sfs or badger tips harder to fit then due to the size??

I done a normal one and that pesky Coolent pipe was Being a neucence!!!

fitted a CM tip today, well i watched as my mate struggled, got the old one out fine. and all this having to jack the NS up and bring the tip out from the bottom is nonsense, managed to get it out from the top of the bay and put the old one in, had to trim an inch off the new one at the turbo end, and getting it to fit on the turbo and doing up the jubilee clip was a massive ball ache, took probably an hour or so just to do the tip.

Its easier to get at the 5mm Allen key nut that bolts the original tip on from the ground, but I too pulled the old tip from the top.
Didn't have to trim my TIP though  :wink:

no big hands for me  :laugh:

I do find it difficult at times though working on the car, because I have arthritis in all my fingers, and I am only 35 :sad: So things like the tip, turbo and brakes, I leave to do for my VAG mechanic, but most other things I have a go at myself  :smiley:
