I've read elsewhere on the web that VX have now discontinued the vectra c pipe, and they are quite difficult to get hold of

done and dusted guys (y) went on ebay and bought it. £38 pnp fooking hell like... but as mentioned ^^ they're a bitch to get a hold of now, so i had to be quick and stump up the cash :sick:

On the plus side recorded delivery so should be with me very soon. I've also go the ported and polished T/B coming in the next few weeks drool.gif all i need now is the standard air box and a KnN panel filter.

f**k Me! I only paid £14 for mine from Vauxhall when I got it. You could try fitting the VXR Astra one, they are a similar size.

There is a thread on VXROnline about opening up the VXR intake using some 80mm ducting, as the connector pipe from the air intake to the air box reduces down to 60mm.

Mine looks nothing like it. Yes it has the same large intake and large diameter pipe but its much longer and the intake goes right over to the other side of the slam panel. Has anyone got a part number for the one your all on about?

cheers.. Matt i went to the post office today to collect the C pipe and i was quite impressed by the size difference over the standard. I was gonna whack it on but having seen this picture i might put this one up for sale and purchase the VXR pipe instead. dunno..
Either one i decide im still gonna need a new air box cos i bought the car with the K&N cone filter on it :confused:
So anyone got one up for sale??

Not sure, my vectra c has a longer intake that sits nearer the passenger side of the engine whereas the vxr one is shorter and sits on the drivers side but looks the same as the one in the picture. I know some of the other veccy c's had the shorter one. The actual intake itself is the same size as my standard one just the new part means the airs got less distance to travel across the engine. I havent got my garage keys with me as i left it in the car at work but will check for a part number tomorrow evening as i've been lazy and not got round to fitting it yet.
