Hi everyone. My name is Darren and I recently bought a Vectra C on a 54 plate. Am looking to improve the performance on it but am having trouble finding parts from high street stores which is a pain. Have fitted A k&n induction kit and am looking for an exhaust. Which is the best one to go for? Have been looking at Magnex but Peco is a cheaper option but I don't want anything ridiculously loud which I have been told Peco is.

 

[obi_waynne]

Hi Darren and welcome to the site. I was impressed by Magnex. If you don't want loud then get a smaller backbox. A 1.5 inch pipe should suffice. I know what you mean about finding parts. It would be worth tracking down an FSE fuel boost valve and also a fast road cam for it. Hope that helps!

 

[thetruestorey]

Thanx for that, am getting it lowered today so will be trying to hunt out an exhaust at the same time. Will look into the other things you mentioned too.

 

[obi_waynne]

Cool - keep in touch and let us know how you get on with it.

Re: Introduce yourself here

Hi everyone, my name is chris i have an astra coupe 1.8i 16v bertone.It has a K&N 57i induction kit, tinted windows. I have still to put on irmscher backbox, oversized airflow meter and bigger fuel pressure regulator then remapped plus chipped (will be doing that all at once)

 

[pgarner]

Re: Introduce yourself here

hey and welcome to the site mate. sounds nice.
you do know that if you have it remapped you dont need to chip it ? they both do the same. the remap is done through the diagnositc port where as the chip requires removal of the ecu and new chip soldered in

Re: Introduce yourself here

Hi Dave, welcome to TorqueCars mate! 17 and you own a 2.0 litre? How much insurance do you pay out? What kind of plans do you have for tuning it? Is it all about performance?

 

[pgarner]
