wicked, cheers guys :thumbs:

Sportex = shite... if you did get it to fit, the fookin CAT and centre section would be in the car next to you ! :lol:

I HAD A SPORTEX MNIFOLD ON MY OLD CAR TOTALLY SHITE MATE, fecking caps! as for de-cats wit silencers, piper do one, i have it ad it not to bad o be honest, but for the maniold try janspeed, seriosly id stay away from sportex ones really was shite, didnt fit properly etc..... took it off and went for a standard one i nthe end

i tried ashley and they said they didnt do one. ive got a janspeed de-cat with a silencer,fits fine. for a 4 branch manifold try autosprint in birmingham 01675 464 857 they do a mint mild steel 4 branch for the corsa 1.6 16v for only £150. much better than sportex (which ive heared is a poor fit) they supply their manifolds for rally/race so they are top stuff.

c/x same.
think i've seen pics of lexmaul manifolds that have a silencer in them. unless its a sports cat.

i wouldn't be concerned about the quality of the sportex one. i'd be confident that it'd outlast the car anyway.
look at ashley for another bargain option.

Rah, first was looking at gettin a decat pipe, have seen the sportex one has silencer in it -so looked appealing -do any othe decat pipes have a silencer as part of them?

Also been looking at 4 branch, now sportex one that mates up with decat pipe properly is only 150 squid, but have concerns over the quality, and whether i should go for the Janspeed one, only 50 squid more...?
Also i presume the exhaust manifolds for the X16 sports and the C16 gsi's are the same fitment wise?

For the C16 gsi by the way
Anyway comments and all that appreciated :)
