VX Redtop manifold (NTDWM!)

Perusing eBay, stumbled across a Vauxhall C20XE 2.0l 16V redtop exhaust manifold for 7.

I know a couple of people on here have picked up redtops recently, just thought it might be of interest to someone!

VX manifold linky

I would be careful - I have an exhaust manifold for my redtop - the port outlets should all be in a straight line - the ones in this ebay ad are not from what I can see.

This is mine -

I can't see any problem as it just looks like that ports 1 and 2 havn't been pushed into the collector properly and twisted to the right place. Yours are welded into the collector so can't move

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

Bought it at Stoneleigh from Kit Cars Direct (aka GBS aka Robin Hood). It was £145.

Are the mounting holes in the flange as oversized as the ones on the pile of poo I got (indirectly) from GBS?

Sorry to hear yours were poor, but I'm glad to say they are just fine on mine.

Steve.
