We have also made extras so we carry a couple in stock now so delivery will be next day 🙂

I hope this is all okay, now to start work on the 2.5" system for all you VX220 boys 🙂

Kind Regards

Great!

Just to let anyone who is interested know. The part numbers for the gaskets on the Astra are:

Manifold: V0009230949

Downpipe to manifold: V0024454112

Does anyone know the nut torques for putting on the new manifold?

rik1083

got it thanks!

JohnnyN

How come the part numbers are varying between the Astra and VX220?

VX220 #'s

MANIFOLD,EXHAUST - 24438033
GASKET,FRONT EXHAUST PIPE TO MANIFOLD - 9198091

vocky

they should be identical gaskets, maybe the numbers have changed due to vauxhall bringing out a better gasket

rik1083

maybe they want to charge vx220 owners more 🙂

I remember when I went to buy a bee sting aerial from a vx220 from Vauxhall. They said that it was special order as it was for the vx. A friend of mine who worked in the parts dept. had a look and found that its the same aerial that fits on a Frontera Sport. They looked up that and it was identical but on a different number. And the Frontera part was only £6ish. Bargain. ;-)

They obviously think people who run a VX can afford to pay a premium for their parts :crazy:

gearing up to fit it..
I think I might have to take the clam off 🙁

you dont have to take the clam off
it is really hard but i had the manifold taken off white the clam on

did shall help you a little bit
http://www.verboom.net/projects/speedst ... index.html

when you got the heat shield, cat and downpipe off you have to get the manifold off
when you got al the bolts apart it will be hard to turn the manifold but it can be done i also did it today

do your best and it can be done :wink:

kind regards

michael

rik1083

what a cock of a job.. I did it with the clam on.. 🙂
Woud've been easier if the manifold fitted onto the head studs properly.. and if it had connecting studs to the downpipe rather than wobbly bolts 🙁

But it's done now and I can hopefully never have to do it again 😃

It makes a weird noise.. I'm assuming it's because the exhaust from the ports fires straight out and makes a "ping" noise related to engine speed pretty much all the time, but especially under acceleration. Would usually the cast manifolds absorb this sound? Is it normal?

Thanks
Rich

rik1083

anyone? scuba does yours make this noise?

JohnnyN

Mines not on yet mate. I've been waiting for you to report back on the difference since fitting.

I'm sure Scott will catch up with the thread soon. He may be able to shed some light.

;-)

joey

Had mine on for a week now, manifold went on ok with no problem with studs (must`ve had my lucky pants on) like Scott I left the heatshield off for a couple of days just to admire the plumbing and the colour changes. The flat spot has dissapeared and the power delivery is nice and smooth all in all a good product. All I need to do now is to get a 2.5 in system. :thumbup:

SriSte

i'm not running a heatshied on mine yet either.
It does sound a little odd while its cold, maybe just need to re torque the stud bolts. Or it might just be how it sounds lol
