Exhaust Vauxhall Calibra (1990-1997)

The Vauxhall Calibra offers multiple exhaust silencers, including the popular RC Racing stainless steel silencers. These fit directly in place of the original parts without modification. Variants include a 73mm outlet for the 2.0 8V 130hp engines and a 50mm outlet Group N style version with a 50mm pipe diameter. Additionally, tailored stainless steel sports exhausts are available for different engines offering enhanced performance and sound.

Modern exhausts for the Vauxhall Calibra typically utilise high-quality stainless steel (304L) for durability and corrosion resistance. This material ensures a superior finish and long-lasting performance compared to standard components.

Besides the main silencer, the Calibra exhaust system includes several critical parts to ensure proper function and sound control:

• Flexible pipe between the engine and silencer, typically 35mm inner diameter and 100mm long
• Exhaust pots with mounting threads (M8) and a standard length of 63mm
• Centre pipes and tailpipes configured to fit specific motorisation and application

These components contribute to a balanced sound, reduced noise, and effective exhaust gas flow.

The choice of exhaust depends largely on the specific engine model and power output. For example:

• The 2.0 8V 130hp engines typically use silencers with a 73mm outlet
• 2.0 16V 136hp engines benefit from sport stainless steel exhausts with larger outlets (120x80mm or 135x80mm)
• Older or less powerful versions may use different configurations optimized for their power and noise restrictions

Selecting the right exhaust improves power and sound harmoniously with the car’s characteristics.

Many stainless steel sport exhaust options for the Calibra come with CE certification, ensuring compliance with European standards. These are often supplied with a 2-year guarantee, giving reassurance about product quality and durability.

Professional fitting is recommended to ensure proper installation and optimal performance. Depending on your location in the UK, installers in London and other areas can assist with exhaust fitting. Contact us for advice adapted to your Calibra’s specific engine, application, and chosen exhaust parts.

• Expert fitting reduces noise restrictions and prevents damage
• Technical guidance on pipe diameters, centre pipe replacement, and tailpipe options
• Help with VAT and supply chain for performance parts

Your choice should reflect power needs, noise preferences, and compliance with local regulations.

Yes, fitting a properly designed sports stainless steel exhaust can improve engine power by reducing exhaust flow restrictions and lowering weight compared to standard parts. Careful choice of pipe diameter and less restrictive silencers helps the engine breathe better, enhancing overall performance while delivering a sportier exhaust noise.

• Optimised exhaust flow improves combustion efficiency
• Reduced back-pressure supports higher power output
• Improved tailpipe design enhances visual appeal

Always ensure compatibility with your engine type to avoid noise or emissions issues.

Choosing the right exhaust depends on multiple factors:

• Engine model and power output (e.g., 2.0 8V, 16V configurations)
• Vehicle year and original exhaust setup (important for fitment)
• Desired noise level and sporty sound preference
• Compliance with noise and emissions regulations
• Material quality (prefer stainless steel for durability)
• Availability of a fitting service and warranty terms
