THANKS ALOT FOR THE INFO ANOTHER QUESTION WHAT EXHAUAST MANIFOLD AND SYSTEM EXHAUST WOULD I BE BEST TO USE FOR THE 2L XE ENGINE.

DOES THE XE MANIFOLD MATCH UP WITH THE NOVA GSI FRONT PIPE

Fuck me that white one's intercooler is huge! Needs a new front panel though.... check out the rust where it meets the wing behind the headlamp. Can't be good with over 200bhp. Who's car is that?
