i was wandering if there is any sort of difference in power gains between different make inlets? also would they make much of a difference to a totally standard sport? or would i be beter off spending my money elsewhere? thanks

i fitted a mantzel and a janspeed 4-2-1 and a sportex system all in all cost me around £600 for the lot and in my eyes it was money well spent , car pulls alot stronger all through the rev range but it goes crazy from 4500rpm to 6500rpm

would that be one of the best to go for or are they all pretty much the same? what sort of power do you think your car is running? is it a 1.4 or 1.6? thanks

its a x16xe , the lexmaul is suppose to show better gains on the x14xe and the mantzel is supose to be the best choice for the x16xe , a duno what my cars bhp is but its just as fast if not faster than a 2.0 8v 130

Not quite, power wise may be around the same but the 1.6 will always have better torque

My mate had a 1.4 16v, janspeed - this - and a remap *Inc a rev limiter module, and it made around 120-125bhp if i remember correctly.

^Taken from that thread posted.

Might have to get one and a janspeed manifold after ive sorted out some bodywork

i already have a janspeed manifold and cat back system but im keeping that for the rally corsa project as your not allowed to change the inlet manifold doing the events i want to do. just after something to make my road corsa abit pokier really. so id definately feel the difference with just an inlet manifold ye?
