Hi every1. Ive been reading around and found that a 4 branch manifold can give an extra 6 - 7 hp on a corsa so im just wondering if my car can be fitted with one. Ive had a look on ebay and there seems to be one for the 1.2 and 1.4 8valve units and the 1.4 and 1.6 16valve units but not for my 1.2 16valve. Also how are they fitted - like is it a DIY job or is it easier to get a local garage or exhaust specialist to fit it?

Thanks in advance guys
