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.

lol my boss siad to me, if there about 60quid to buy, why dont you make some in your dinner on the machines here and sell them cheaper, but tbh cant be arsed with the hassle.
is it made out of ally ed? and welled pipe on it or is it all machined out of one peice?

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.

Are you SURE that's how it's spelt? I'm sure I saw someone with an "Ecotech" rocker cover!
