	uh? The inlet manifold is quite restrictive part, its the 4 bits that lead into engine (look on brosters garage... think he has a lexmaul)... other than that a 4-1 manifold and decat are going to be the only gains you'll get on the exhaust and they won't be massive unless air can get into engine quick in the first place
banna	posted on 29th Dec 05 at 14:04
	so run headers from the exhaust all the way to the back (as in a full system)? cheers for the help

	and as its ecotec.... you're best bet is to spend the money you'd spend on an exhaust on an inlet manifold (lexmaul/mantzel) it'll give you better gains than most exhaust bits

	if its ecotec it'll be DOHC
banna	posted on 29th Dec 05 at 13:58
	it is an ecotec motor

	the sparkies sit real deep below the opel sign at the top. my car is a holden (i.e. impoted to NZ from germany_
Will_Sport	posted on 29th Dec 05 at 13:49
	does your engine have a cover saying ecotec on it? if it has a cover, take it off and look if the spark plugs are on side of engine or if sunk between 2 mounds (where the cams are), if they are between 2 rows then it'll have 2 cams... or double overhead cam

	it's definitely a 1.4 16v- i've got the badge on the right rear
Will_Sport	posted on 29th Dec 05 at 13:17
	it'll be a double over head cam if its 16v.... as far as i'm aware only honda make SOHC 16v engines. and if its just a 1.4 8v (which it'll be if its SOHC) a full system will cost more than upgrading to a x14xe (1.4 16v... or possibly a 1.6)

[Edited on 28-12-2005 by OGX] I was under the impression that custom exhaust(basic ones) were just built to fit whereas magnex etc design them so that they give the right amount of back pressure for maximum performance gain?

	depends on what engine? mainly the bigger the engine the better the gains!
banna	posted on 28th Dec 05 at 13:22
	what kind of horsepower gains can i expect? 5-10%?
OGX	posted on 28th Dec 05 at 13:19
	get a full system!
banna	posted on 28th Dec 05 at 12:36
	WHATS my best option for gains in this area? is there none?
Wrighty	posted on 28th Dec 05 at 11:47
	hardly noticeable power gains mate biggest difference will be noise
banna	posted on 28th Dec 05 at 09:34
	do removing the cat give a gain in horsepower? is it better to fit a cat back pipe? thanks:thumbs:
