Saw one of these at PV, and seen some people putting them on their cars. Looks like a good idea!!

Ignore the 20hp nonsense, you gain around 10hp. Worthwhile though, best mod i had on my 16 16v.

I have one on a 16xe with stainless ebay manifold sounds lovely and nippy too :)

Now the electrics have gone gay and it wont start. :(

if you've got a X16XEL engine you'll need the bottom halve of ther X16XE inlet manifold aswell I believe

I have one for sale if needed
