worth buying second hand Extractors?

[joshyewahh]

hey guys, i was just wondering if people thought buying second hand extractors were ok?

they are off a parted out car. im currently looking into buying some extractors in the near future, so i thought i could get the extractors id like as well as save 200ish$$$.

i was just wondering if there will still be bonus's from second hand extractors (paying less) rather then brandnew (paying top dollar)?

i am in the hunt for second hand extractors too, i reckon its the G-O

as long as theyre not cracked or rusted through theyll be fine. Its steel pipe after all

Yeah I recently bought 2nd hand extractors, saved a fair bit. But I'd be careful of ones that have been painted, and if there's any signs of repairs or big dents, which usually happen to the Y pipe. Also make sure they are all straight where they bolt up to the motor.

its fine if they arent to old bud, but new is always best

if they are in good condition, why not

You can pick up some massive saving with second-hand, for instance, I sold come LS1 Pacemakers on here for $300, bargain.

i bought some try y pacmakers for 200 and bought difilippo 1 3/4 headers and twin 3 inch cats for 500 . i find it kinda hard to spend over a grand just for some pipes

mmm that being said. my mechanic came over last night to check out some car stuff i wanted looked at. n i asked him this same question. he said its generally ok, but you can get unlucky n get sold a set with dents, bends, and cracks and you wouldnt even know. so i think im going to get brand newwies.
iv been quoted 660 for supply n fitting for pacemakers, plus 280 to fit a hi-flow cat into the system. so thats 940$ all up, and thats to have it done profesionally. i might ask around abit more n see what other prices people can come up with :P

dents are nothing pacemaker will always rust but its surface rust thats mild steel its very hard to bend and crack extractors.and on a v6 it wouldnt even notice it from a new set
