Would these extractors fit?

[Mr_Slim]

Do you think these would be fine on my VP Calais?

They are at a decent price and only 5mins from my house. If they fit i will buy now

To save you time -

S1 VN V6 extractors

will they fit...

VP V6 Calais manual

They don't look in great condition though. Is there anything in particular i should look for? I'm not worried about the look, just the performance / reliability


Thanks for your help guys!

i can't see why they would'nt fit. you will just have to get a y peice made up. well if i was you i would run a twin cat system. with the manual y piece they are crushed under they gearbox for the sake of room. so if you get a twin cat system you won't have the restrictive flow..
i am basing this all on series 1 by the way.

[Mr_Slim]

im pretty sure i have the S1 VP, as it doesn't come with ABS.

so buying these extractors, i would be able to install them (or have someone do it for me) and they would work. i would see some gains, but to get the full advantage i should get a new Y piece and a twin cat system?

A twin cat system would be very nice, but not sure if its in my price range at the moment...

How much is a new Y piece?

Arn't they just stock exhaust manifolds

[defa]

they are not standard. they are very different. if you get twin cats. you will need to put the headers on them some pipe out of each side. then a cat each side. then a y piece into your exhaust from your 2 cats.. something like that anyways..
if you are not that handy doing exhausts get an exhaust place to do it.. i am not sure how much it will cost you.. also if you are going to go twin cats i would think you would want to go a bigger exhaust. if you don't alreayd have one.. so you might be up for about $400 plus buying another cat.
i might be wrong on the prices. someone on here should know..

[defa]

if you just get the y piece and only go sinle cat, it shouldn't cost you too much..
i am not sure how much you would gain either... some people say you won't gain much..

they look stock to me ....

They are just the stock VN S1 manifold. Not aftermarket extractors.

[defa]

i will take a pic of my stock manifolds off my series 1 vn tonight when i get home. they are not on my car anymore. they look completely different.
or did vp have a steel manifold too..

[Mr_Slim]

i've always wondered that - how do aftermarket extractors look different to the stock manifold?

and at the moment i have 2.5inch from the cat back. Not sure i can stretch the budget for 2 cats, but depends on the gains.

First though i'd have to check whether these are even extractors like they claim...

[VNPOWER]

he is not claiming anything.. the seller just said series 1 vn extractors..

Hes not claiming them to be pacemacker or any other performance mod brand.

The difference between stock and performance would be the thickness.. and pacemaker are generally silver looking.

Also runner length, size of pipes etc...
