I bought a set of pacemakers, tuned length, because I had cracked standard manifolds.They made it heaps better on fuel and made it run heaps cooler,dropped it by 1 mark on the gauge.Paid about $650-tuned length are more expensive,but they seem to run better with them.The ones on ebay there are probably a good replacement for the standards.

Ask notanabbafan he might give you a good price on them

what about going extractors, into single, into twin pipes with cats, back into single pipe with one muffler out to a tip, if you know what i mean lol??? would you get more power, etc.. this pic should explain similar to what i mean. i have VS V6

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

I can do you a set of extractors and a 2 1/2" cat back system for $550.

Extractors are worth getting if you aren't expecting huge increases of power. You will get an improvement in acceleration and better highway economy.

Where in WA?

i got extractors through notanabbafan and id say yes they were worth it , you gotta do the exhaust aswell though!

[vrcalais5ltr]

yeah would be a bit cheaper then i said mine was on a v8 lol

Is it true that extractors to suit an auto are different than ones to suit a manual? I don't want to get a set that will not fit a manual.

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

You won't get extractors for a series 3 ute.

Really?? Well thats interesting. Why not?

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

The series 3 uses the VT style full circle bell housing and all the extractors for previous models foul on it.

[Dinwoodie]

I got my extractors put on my 5.0 not long ago best thing i did, gave it a wicked song improvment i can notice! I've put them on all the cars i have owned and never been dissappointed

Didn't the VS Series III ute's have the Getrag gearbox?

in most cases yes they are different, mainly just the Y peace.


i put a set of extractors, exhaust, pod, cai and a tune, cut my 0-100 time from 9.5 seconds to 7.1, oh and a shift kit in there as well

but yes you notice the fuel is better as well, gives the engine a different note, and alot more engine noise in my opinion, only at higher revs.

but a must have is the exhaust, and once exhaust is done its best to do intake as well, and cai is a must with these cars as there is alot of engine bay heat, especially with extractors as they seem to heat up more than the standard manifold, but how you hear people say standard manifolds are the best for them, i totally disagree.

The VS Series II and III Utes use the Getrag box.

[_R_J_K_]

Didn't the VS Series III ute's have the Getrag gearbox?

And the 4L60E. As far as I have read the VT bell housing is a little bit different (as not_an_abba_fan mentioned).

[Brett_jjj]

I bought my extractors a while back.Tuned length ones,Straight away I noticed the car had more power, is better on fuel,and runs 1 mark cooler on the temp gauge(highway and around town).It sounds good too.Well worth it.

[VS-S-PACK-UTE]

i fitted pacemaker 5039's to my series 3 s pack ute, the y peice needed massive altering, basically got half my y peice done for free, they are well worth getting mate, jump on em as soon as u get the chance

[moogley]

i put pacemakers and a twin 2.25 system on my calais and it was very noticable the only other thing i had was a k and n tray filter and ss induction ,when i first got my car back it put me back into my seat instantly i craped myself lol

YouTube - vr calais ,ecotec swap, hsv twin 2.25 inch exhaust

cost roughly 600 all up but i got the extractors with a 2.5 inch system for 200 and i got the system off a vx clubby with cats for 80 the rest was in fitting

[the_kelly98]
