XE exhaust and ecotec compatability
Does anyone know on how similar/different the redtop XE 16v exhaust manifold spacings/sizes are compared to a1.6 twincam vauxhall (i'm presuming
he means ecotec.)
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

1.6 is a different spacing I'm afraid.
2.0 XE and 2.0 Ecotec are the same spacing but different fitting.

Erm I don't know if I kept or binned it
it's like the bermuda triangle here just now. You lay something down/put in a safe place and it's gone for weeks

keep it if you can, chop the pipes off at the flange, clean it up and weld new pipework to it. it is of a solid thickness and is low grade stainless
so saves you about £30 on a new flange!
