My uncle bought a new magnum 2300 in -75 or -76.I was about 10 years then,and I remember it went like a rocket.A beautiful dark blue metallic two-door with black vinyl roof.He lowered it about an inch at the front and tuned it to about 160 hp.Then he smashed it in a stonewall.
Best exhaust system for the 2300 HC Viva, Firenza, Magnum is the standard Droop Snoot Firenza system. Most efficient and sounds good. Carbs - Twin strombergs were standard on most 2.3's but twin 48 delorto's are the ultimate option. Love the way on you tube some people make sweeping statements on a video or subject when they have no idea about what they are commenting on. I raced Viva's/Firenza's they were brilliant cars. And had many 2.3 and 2.6 road cars. (Blydenstein 2.6)
dismith-- It was supose to be a jokey ! As a matter of fact, i drive a Vauxhall Corsa, and i also drive a Bedford Camper van with a 2.300 cc modefide engine. I also have another fully recondition 2.3 engine,never used, if anybody is interested. Have an nice day.
YES YES YES!!! Vauxhall is the best product from GM!!!! I have a 4-door magnum 2300 my self! Great car, and burn rubber easy!! OPEL SUCKS!!! Opel is peace of shitt!! haha...
The Viva (on whose shell the Magnum was based) was *the* last 100% UK designed and built Vauxhall. After them Vauxhall were/are just re-badged Opels. I can personally vouch for the "UK built" aspect of the Magnum as I have completely stripped an original 1974 model and I didn't find *one* part not made in the UK.
a friend of mine had an 1800 magnum, lovely car too, they look like a mini muscle car! she sounds well, nice raspy exhaust! easily enough room under bonnet for a rover v8!

I love the look of Magnums, but sorry this really isnt a 'roar' more of a 'fart'!! :-)
Put a V8 in it - then it might 'roar'.
