I've got the lexmaul manifold fitted aswel



mine's the x16xe engine, good thing about the lexmaul is so easy to fit takes about 45 minutes and gives good gains.

Well on mine it did!! cause before i fitted mine used to pull strong from 3.5k to redline now it pulls from just over 2k to redline.

dbilas ones on regal are £1,000 and the throttle body kits are 164bhp for £1,705.73 with coil. and about £2,500 for 185bhp (not £2000 for 194bhp... sorry)

dbilas manifold is 649 quid i think on its own. i got the velos inlet, really good over standard, pulls nicley to red line.

only problem is i miss the sound the standard inlet makes at low revs. Velos at high revs sounds
