Not my thread but just sharing as FYI since someone posted about issues with CTS recently.
I had my own issues with VRSF IC+CP so i wouldnt necessarily recommend them either. You can read all about that on the Oring and boost leak thread.
I feel like any CP cn have an issue, but the probability is generally lower for the higher cost brands like ER.

yeah, i replied in that thread but later removed my post because there was no response about the clip. he's the only one that i've read that ever had a problem with CTS. while it absolutely could have been the only defective pipe i've read about, (imo) from the photo he posted, the clip wasn't seated properly, therefore the pipe wasn't seated properly. but he was adamant that it was installed correctly, so there's nothing more to say.
i've also read just a few rare issue with ER pipes as well but it's mostly related to connections with certain intercoolers
FWIW here's a good review about CTS CP...

all I can say is prior to buying ANY product, one should read through as many reviews and do as much research on it as possible, so we don't need to keep reading threads and posts about shitty products that don't fit. if that particular CTS thread makes someone buy a better product, that's great.
I have CTS FMIC and FTP charge pipes and still think CTS puts out an excellent product for a great price, especially on sale.
