Do lexmaul, dbilas, mantzel etc inlets fit c16xe engines, or can you buy them specifically for the c16xe? Might just save cash and get a gsi, just wondering what differences in engine mods available are between the two engines, i know the engines are similiar but i dont know.

not sure why it is to be honest i know the heads slightly different as inthe size of the valves etc, might also be as the c16 did have the EGR system either.
