have to agree with Alanoo, the bhp gains from just the 4-1 manifold are a strong selling point, so dyno just the manifold
but it would be in your interest to also show what the downpipe adds with the standard (crappy) manifold and your superb 4-1 manifold.
that will sell more and so is a worthwhile expense 🙂
Test has been done with just the manifold fitted. Sadly we just did not have the time to mix and match parts and get the tests done. I know it would be good but sadly im just limited on time 🙁

i'm glad you decided to make the 2.5 pipes.. does that mean you will do the U bend as well?
No worries. We dont have time to make a new system for the VX220 🙁 We cant just do the u-bend as it needs to be matched to the silencer (position wise) as the lines will change due to the bend radius.

Is it possible for me to change the down pipe with sports cat to one in 2,5" instead of the 2,25"?
What will the extra charge be?
The price will be the same for this offer and i will change your order now.

I was tempted to go with a 2bular full 3" system but I'm quite liking the look of this...
Best give me a call then 😉

Am I correct in thinking that the manifold pipes are usually all the same diameter between manufacturers?
It depends on how good a job they do. Ours are matched to the cylinder head flow rates 🙂 Some companies may choose bigger or smaller primaries.

Now a 2,5" downpipe will be possible on the VX220, put me up for a set.
Garry, you have PM/mail.
No worries, im back in the office now so just give me a call 🙂
Right, thats got all those questions answered, now onto the good stuff 🙂
First the rolling road testing is now done. Here are the figures:
Before = 145.8bhp @ 6330 / 146.2 lbft @ 4825 - Standard car + VSE backbox
After = 150.1bhp @ 6381 / 147.1 lbft @ 5042 - Stanard car + Piper Manifold + VSE backbox

Now here are some pictures of the new 2.5" downpipe we have made for those that are running superchargers 🙂


I hope you all like 🙂
We are now working on making a 2.5" downpipe/sports cat and system for the Astra for those that want one to go with their lovely manifold.
For anyone else who wants to place and order or add to the order we have, please call me asap so i can get it all in once parcel for you.
Kind Regards
