I currently have the Z16XEP (twinport) engine in my astra and have been looking around for a better exhaust manifold. Saw the Lexmaul one but that was uber wonga!
So, was thinking, would a performance manifold off the C16xe/X16XE fit onto the XEP engine?
I'm not sure what the exhaust ports on any of the engines are like, so if anyone could shed some light on this that would be very much appreciated!

when you say filled up 5mm, do you an extra plate between the exhaust manifold flange and the exhaust ports on the head? Or have i read that wrong?
