fitted my lexmaul inlet jobbie last nite, took about 45 mins
40 mins of that was working out how to get the throttle body connecting pipe back on 
just incase anyone is intrested in getting one, it now pulls much stronger through the midrange whereas before it only had power starting at 4000rpm
janspeed 4-2-1 manifold going on next but need garage to do it as dont have any ramps 
cheers anthony

where did you get it from buddy?
i'm interested in gettin an inlet manifold but can only find the mantzel one on courtenay website and the dblias one which is a bit dear.
also is everything included in the kit for fitting or did you have to buy extra parts?

i bought mine second hand on here, only part u need is a gasket which is already on your car
needed one socket, one spanner, one g-clamp and a pair of pliers to fit
easy peasy, not sure where u buy them new, used to be PVD but think they went bust?

Im thinking of getting one too. Buy total vauxhall you'll see loads in there, they range from 460-495. Wanted to know how much they'd cost to fit but sounds easy enough now! Most of em come with full instructions aswell. Does it recommend modding anything else aswell? Heard you should match it witha good induction kit?!

good induction kit will help both me and mark broster ran vipers with ours, A remap with a unichp tye set up would also help i think mark found a cheaper alternative to the unichp but im not sure. I thnk regal do the lexmaul inlet now it should be round the £400 mark i would think.

is thats the actual picture of it on ebay then it wont fit the x16xe
for a start the inlet pipes are on the bottom and they should be on the top!
if that one does fit the x16xe then it will also fit the x14xe

Yes, they are.
I've got full instructions if anyone needs them, but they really are a straightforward swap.
