So recently been looking at upgrades for my LC, would like to get it to stage 2 240bhp'ish eventually.
Currently the car is stock apart from cone filter and n249 delete.
First thing I've been looking at are the TIP's. I've searched the forum and google and the obvious choice would be an oversized TIP. The choice being a Badger5, R-Tech or SFS one. I have emailed both Badger5 and R-tech to see if they still make them for the LC and they both came back saying they don't.....sad times. (side note: the response times to emails from both Badger5 and R-tech were silly impressive lol)
The only one I can see on the SFS website is not the oversized one.
I have found one on ebay which is the Creation Motorsport one. From my research I can see this is not a popular choice but also a lot of people who never had an issue with them.
Through my research I read the odd bit of information suggesting an LC would be fine with a normal silicone TIP (not oversized) and that there would be no further gains to get from the oversized ones. Obviously the LCR can make a lot more power which would require the extra flow the oversized TIP could provide.
So my questions are;
1. Will a normal silicone TIP be sufficient on an LC for stage 2? Or will I see extra gains from oversized?
2. From what I've read I'm putting the negative comments on Creation Motorsport down to LCR owners who make much more power, has anyone with an LC had a bad experience with the Creation Motorsport TIP?
Any help much appreciated, thanks
