i have a janspeed manifold on my xe with no exhaust system.
i dont know the bore of this system and havent as of yet measured it to see but i have read its best to get a 2.25 bore system for an xe??

if my janspeed is say 2" can u get a adpater to fit the other system, ive also heard nothing but good reports about the blueflame systems and think id be better to invest in one of these rather than a powerflow etc.

am i correct in thinkin i can get a blueflame system in 2.25 bore already made to fit an xe manifold in a corsa???

i looked on there website but couldnt find model lists etc...

that reducing bit will need cutting off, and a piece of flexi adding

standard xe system is 2"/50mm
i've just had a 2 1/4" /57mm system fitted to mine at dcms burnley, with a flexi from manifold to centre section and a 3 box system (inc custom backbox) to keep the noise down, quality is outstanding and being custom made you get it made specifically to your car, so less chance of it catching rear beam if your car is extra low, and it also comes with a lifetime warranty for the owner of the car at the time it was done, all this is only a little more than a blue flame system, its powerflow by the way but lawrences work at dcms seems second to none!!
