All came from Cossvaux as a kit. Cost £60 I think. IMO it's only worth about £30-£40 so in a few months time I'm going to make a load and undercut Cossvaux's price... Thats if there is actually much of a market for them. The pipe is off of all Ecotec Vauxhall's, don't know the part number though but it costs about £15 new.

The internal diameter of the pipe is the same as the external diameter of the air mass meter, measure that.

Yea, it's made from ally and tigged together... Fucking rough as hell, it's just beed cut on a band saw and the hole in the middle was done by a tank cutter I think. Was covered in swarf and crap when I got it, wleding aint the best I seen. Needed filing down smooth.
