[Kev_mk3]

only ones youll get are lexmal ones and there not cheap!

 

[MK3MAD]

No they're not cheap in the price range of £300, but they do unlock good potential out of the c/x/18/20/xe/xev engines

i've got one on a 1.8 sport, little blow so not 100% but it still makes big difference. i'm after standard manifold and downpipe at the moment so wont need mine anymore if anyones interested? be cheap! also anyone know if 1.8sport and 2.0sport exhaust are interchangable?

not totally swapable. depends how it goes around the sump

 

[ChrisyGSI]

would the lexmaul 1 off lmfvauxhall be the 1 for my car it says 2 piece sump my cars a 96

 

[Kev_mk3]

yes

The old 1.8 and 2.0 8v engine down pipes fit the eco's, just a thought as i have used them before,

Is this correct? could I put a 2.0 8v off a calibra for example and mate it up with my X20XEV system? Anybody know if this would make a good power gain?

Looking at pics on the EPC, the non-Ecotec frontpipes are longer, so you'd need to change the cat/decat as well.

And no, there would be no power gain what so ever.

correct

ecotec + branches = pay up big money!
unfortunately there isn't a cheap option... it is £300 odd for the lexmaul or you might get lucky and find an irmy one but that will probably dissappear under your very nose as they are rare as!

so do you reckon a veccy x20xev manifold will work sweet on the astra... i know it`s the same block and sump and wotnot, but will it be an easy fit do you reckon?

 

[rick151081]

dont no if its the same lentgh on the bottom that attaches to the cat i have sent them an email to find out

 

[fleck]
