Well i finally got the courage to do some engine work. After fiddling with the manifold i finally found out how to take off the heat shield, and the bolts, which on a 2.2 isnt fun. Anyway, after 2 hours of trying to get hte damn thing off it came out, and i also took out my old downpipe and exhuast, which came out with ease with a sawzaw. Then i tried putting hte gmpp manifold on, it was somewhat simple i did have issues with teh gasket though, i would line up like 8/10 bolt studs and the last 2 just wont screw back in, i dont knowif they are hitting hte gasket or are not threading properly... so i left them out figuring it should hold up and i can alway look at it later, then i hooked up my ca downpipe and it was like 1130 so i called it quits,... i didnt get the corsa on, im going to an exhaust shop in the morning to get my springs installed, i might just have them slap on the exhuast since my is already off, and they hvae a lift, but i would drive 10 miles across down w/o a muffler. This car roars, actally sort of nice/ deep throaty w/o a muffler but its WAY to loud. So i might just drive it just to get some dirty looks. I wonder how long it would tak eto put the corsa on, now that i have the old one out? Anybody? Im thinking like 30 minutes once i get it jacked UP?

 

make a sound clip before you get the exhaust put on and the another one after

 

Ill do it but its gonna be make from a cell phone/ actually i can probably use my sony 5mp digital camera

 

Think having two bolts left out will f it up?

***o*
*0***

that is the pattern for the header bolts
the o's are where i dont have them screwed in...
there are 5 bolts on top and 5 on the bottom.
seems like they are in locations that have enough pressure on them to have it secured good enough and they are not on the edge

 

I have video clips!!!, uploading now on youtube.

 

cant wait i will be doing this same setup soon.

 

I'm gonna have to drive my car to an exhaust shop to get my pacesetter welded to my stock dp after i install it, open header is going to be really loud to drive it across town

 

no catback just manfold downpipe...sort of short

2.2ls corsa sport, first start, cold....

corsa warm start...

 

damm the 1st one with no exhaust sounds great...


.

 

The first clip sounds like a sick tractor...eh

The other 2 sound pretty good

 

I love the sound without a full exhaust. Sounds sick.
The exhaust sounds good too.
