Extractors

[wes_v8]

I can get a set of Advanced Headers extractors for my vn for $150 off a mate, will they fit onto my car since they came off a series I vn and i got a series II?

[xcop5l]

yeah will bolt straight on but you will have to get a pro to join up the pipes unless your handy with a welder

[wes_v8]

yea im gonna get carline to install em, thanx for that mate

[xcop5l]

no problems

[wes_v8]

is that a pretty good price for the 2?

[xcop5l]

yeah id pay that
i think my pace makers were about $700

[wes_v8]

yea i wouldn't mind pacemakers but don't have that kind of money atm besides the guy im buyin em off payed $500, then he was gonna sell em 2 me for $250 but he needs em out the shed so he said $150, he replaced his exhuast with some pace maker comp headers, twin cats and a 2.5" exhaust

[xcop5l]

like mine hehe

[wes_v8]

lol yea i rekon its a good setup

[xcop5l]

mines good coz its quiet but when you punch it,its got a real growl to it

Advanced Headers are equal in performance to Pacemaker, in fact many exaust places will reccomend them before pacies..

If you go to exhaust places.. ask the guys that work there what they have on their cars... Most will have Advanced rather than pacemaker!

Pacemaker are better built, but advanced offer performance equally as good. Both built here in Adelaide.

yeah, the reason extractors as such a good bolt on mod is because of when the engine weas introduced into the commodores,

it was originally a East West mounted engine, in america.. so when holden grabbed it the headers were rushed to get the car out... they werent the best flowing but they did the job, later on the revised the design and made them flow more efficiently so if they look the same design, chances are they probbly flow the same.. my mate was sellin his pacies for $250, didnt grab em because i want forced induction, (turbo) and it'd be a waste of money

Actually the headers on the Series 1 VN's were almost like a set of extractors themselves... You'd get better performance with those than the ones on the S2... The Series 2 manifold was thicker and is cast iron, making them stronger and less noisey. The S1 headers are basically like a wildcat header themselves.

i agree you can hear a series I vn 200m up the road

i got some pacies the other day for 250 out the trading post and heaps better than the stock crap that was on there i tell ya cracks everywhere on passenger side one thats why i got new ones and they came of a vr and a custom y pipe coz his car was real low

[wes_v8]

yea thanx for the comments, yea so im hopefully gettin the extractors soon, yea and i can get em fit for pretty cheap 2 because he is mates with the guy at the exhaust shop so its good, has anyone else got these extractors on there car?

Perhaps not as popular interstate, but im not joking when I say alot of the exhaust places I have walked into have said EVERYONE in the store uses Advanced, none of em pacemaker. Says alot imo

[wes_v8]

yea well my mate rekons they are pretty good, now just gotta come with the money, what difference would they make when they are on? its a stock V6 engine with a 2.5" Reback exhaust from the cat

[JD]

i think its about 10-20 kw from extractors and exhaust total.
from memory i got about 5-10 from 2.5" cat back on my vp

[wes_v8]

can u notice the difference?, i wouldn't have know the difference when i got the exhaust put on cause i didn't have my L's then so iv only driven my car with the sports exhaust

[1991_Vn2nV]

You will definitely notice the difference, but dont expect something massive. But its a good gain.

[wes_v8]

k kool yea im not lookin for anythin massive just sumthin that will make it flow better, any gains in fuel?

[1991_Vn2nV]

Fuel economy should improve slightly... by like 0.1L maybe

[wes_v8]

ah k yea cause dad said he noticed a little bit of fuel difference when i got the exhaust put on, after extractors will be the VS CAI, have u got one of them on ur car 1991_Vn2nV

[1991_Vn2nV]

the VS CAI? yeah I do. Didnt make a difference to my economy, slight difference to performance. Nothing like the difference extractors made on my VL.
