It made my car much more lively, although it was fitted at the same time as a mandrel bent 2" system, and my old downpipes were fecked.

well i went from a 1.4 16v to a 2 litre and the handling didnt change at all, depends on the suspension set up you got as well :)


But the 1.6 16v seems a too good a bargain to pass up :)

I've got that manifold on my 180+ bhp 1.6 16v. It made a huge difference when it went on my standardish 1.4 16v originally.

If you fit tb's to your corsa you could cream integra type R's.

I can.

Corsa02, u've not driven a 2.0 corsa though have you :P

Donnas Lexmaul manifold really seemed to work well on her engine. The design is the same as the Lexmaul one, but its not stainless. Doesn't affect the power though.

Gains, yeah, looking at around 3bhp peak, but it'll rev much better as the gases have a much better route for which to escape.

Manifold on the 16v corsas is a good mod. Let me know how it bears up as i've been waiting for someone to bloody fit one and give their opinion.

I still cannot justify the LExmaul £315+ price tag!!
