it will do something for your 1.6 mate yes but before you start tuning your engine more you really need to upgrade suspension and possibly brakes. Its all well and good having a quick car but if you dont have the suspensioon or stopping power you may well find yourself in a ditch or wrapped round a tree.
have a look on www.motorsportworld.co.uk (i think)

so manifold and decat wont do nothing for my 1,6 sport then?
how about this suspension 4 £189 remember i want a smooth ride for motorways! http://www.tuning.co.uk/vauxshop/
or that spax set for £250 fsx is it called?

Neah, what he means is you will be able to go round corners faster as with an uprated suspension (aka lowered :P) your car will generally handle better.

Howdy!
Forget the 4 branch manifold and stick the money into suspension. You'll make up for the speed in the twisties...
