pacemaker extractors

[silver_bullet]

hey, im thinking of buying these pacemakers, but i looked on the pacemaker site and it said the p/n wasnt suitable for some vn's. the p/n is 5029, it said something about varible steering being in the way of them or something, just wanted to no if i can get them onto my car, its power steering and all. these pacemakers are the comp ones which have bigger primary pipes. the other option is p/n 5009 but i dont have them as an option to buy cheap so if anyone can help that would be great, and if theres any lil tings i should no about when putting extarctors on. i have already got a 2.5" lukey catback. cheers

For a relatively stock car, the standard headers would probably perform better man. But if you can get them cheaper than normal pacies go for it.

As for your question...it depends on what year your car is. They do not fit Series 1 VN's by the looks. So what year is yours?

yeah they should fit, cariable steering is on the VR calais and statesmans i think, could be wrong, but everything else seems alrgih as long as yuo dont have a cast bellhousing

yea i got series 1. still bit confused, one person says they will and one says they wont, i dont wanna go and spend a heap of money only to find out they wont fit.

these pacies and most pacies join to the exaust with flanges if you dont have flanges you will have a lot of trouble fitting these your self

what do flanges look like, they just like whats on the cat. im getting the 'Y' piece aswell so i can connect onto the cat. are u talking about the flanges between the actual extractors and the Y pipe. check out the p/n on pacemaker site and u will no wat im worried about, the ones im getting are p/n 5029 and they have a warnign saying they dont fit some models, i just wanna no if they will fit my series 1. cheers

[xcop5l]

yeah they are the same as on the ends of your cat

as for if the will fit stick your head under your car and have a look
at the fornt of the transmition is the bell housing the bottom half of this will either be a steel (sheet metal) cover or a cast iron cover
if its cast iron they will not fit if its steel they will fit

[silver_bullet]

well that sucks, its cast do u no why they wouldnt fit? is it just clearance or soemthing?

[xcop5l]

yeah theres no as much clearence between the chasis and the bell housing

[silver_bullet]

riteo thanks man, looks like im gunna have to try and talk them into the standard automatic ones. not much diff, just smaller primary pipes. cheers

[xcop5l]

no probs i had trouble with my exaust 2

[silver_bullet]

did u have comp series ones aswell or soemthing?

[xcop5l]

nah ive got a 5ltr i wanted bigger pipes out of the extractor but i was told they wouldent fit. also i had trouble finding an exaust place that could bend the 3inch pipe

[kniever]

would it work if u got a steel bell housing from the wreckers and changed it over so u got more clearence?
