 I have a corsa 1.4 sport and am wanting to replace both the exhaust and inlet manifolds for performance items. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good manifold and also where to get them reasonably priced, ive been checking ebay but they dont seem to come up often 2nd hand.
Also is heat wrapping the exhaust manifold worthwhile?
Cheers

i have a 1.4 16v also, ive replaced the inlet with the vx performance one off ebay, made a nice difference. and i have a lexmaul 4-2-1 exhaust manifold, i was goin to wrap it but then got told a few horror stories of wrapped manifolds cracking. the inlets come up for sale on here now and again, all depends on how much you wanna spend mate

yeah mate thats the one i got, improved the top end so much on my car, and the noise it makes with a decent air filter at high revs is awesome  can be a bit of a bitch to fit tho. you can sometimes get them off here with throttle body already attached for around 120ish. i bought mine brand new for about 160ish but had to modify the tb a little bit. hope that helps mate

you have to drill the threads out of the holes, and grind off a bit of metal to allow for a hex bolt to go in to it, sounds more complicated than it is mate lol
