Unfortunately the only thing I have to go by is the H-tune listing on the site which reckons it does fit F series. Hopefully they can confirm 100%.

Looking to go to a 2.2 at some point so stacking up on things I can swap over to a new car

I've been chatting with H-Tune and they have told me that it will only fit the f20B engine, not SOHC f20's.

From doing a quick bit of research, I believe it does bolt onto a 4th gen ok. The only issue is that apparently the 5th gen b-pipe is longer and needs cut down a few inches to mate to the 4th gen exhaust.

Don't quote me on that though as Im only going by what others are saying...lol

Ah, I need a new Lude! Can't wait until next year or the year after when I can make the jump to the 2.2!

Thanks for getting in touch with them for me though

I'm very tempted on this, does anyone have dibs? And does anyone know how good this is on power gains?

No takers yet mate. Never had it on the car so un-sure of gains etc.

DC are not much over standard iirc.
Info on tested header/intake gains is on the yank forums. A Google Search should probably bring up some results - be careful to make sure the thread is one based on actual tests though rather than heresay - from what I've seen, the yanks love to use ott language (so it reads that they are really going to town slagging off/praising something to the heavens) based on opinion only, when they actually only mean to express mild interest/opinion

Can anyone confirm the difference in downpipe lengths between h22a5 and h22a8?

I had trouble with a decat in the past on my h22a5 being the wrong length, but i guess that means cat+mid section are different between versions, and downpipe is the same? MY logic is it cant just be the cat that is varying lengths!

My downpipe broke on a speedbump and the flexi section has extended 1.5inches. Need to replace it but the ebay downpipes look utter bum droppings. For the back breaking effort its worth fitting something reasonable.

If someone can confirm the downpipes are the same for h22a5/a8 then ill have nothing to worry about (exhaust is completely standard).

I'm not worried about gains - i just don't want to fit cheap £60 ebay downpipe to my car as it'll rust through in under 2 years no doubt.
