If you get really stuck, I have the one from my Sport.

The only downside is that the flange has been ground off, and it joins to the cat pipe via some flexi tubing (cat also has the flange ground off), so you'd need both of them really.

not sure mate

You got a pic of yours so i can see if they look the same, will try and find out part numbers for comparison

 

[Rusty]

They're not the same.

 

[Alex]

They are according to:

[Rusty]

They're wrong.

The sumps are different, thus the pipes have to be to route round them

EDIT: Different part number on the EPC too.

 

[Alex]

I know there are 2 different sumps on the x20xev as the vectra one is different to the astra one, but I thought the x20xev in the astra was the same as the 1.8's for exhaust routing.

Edit: Just had a look at all the pics of 1.8's I've got and not one shows the full downpipe

 

[Rusty]

Well my X20XEV has the 2 part sump and my C18XEL has the single part one, that much I do know

 

[Alex]

Need someone to post a good pic of their 1.8 downpipe

Ah-ha, well according to that seller, the 2.0 front pipe is miles longer:

vs

Also, clearly a different shape due to the different sumps... BOOYA!!

 

[Alex]

Both the front pipes on the estate and claire's old 2.0 sport were much shorter than that
