Perhaps Dogie Extractors Install?

[Nayla]

Hey guys..

Got the new extractors installed.. pacemakers .. just taking a closer look at them .. the workmanship looks a bit dogie.. but I'm no mechanic .. so i can't ascertain what I'm looking at..
But it would seem to close the gap between the extractors and the engine, they've used a 1/2 millimeter metal strip to close the gap. Plus used some sort of orange "sealant" to keep the gap closed
( which looks like its coming off :S)

Can someone that has these extractors installed or knows their way around a VZ Alloytec engine comment thanks =]

[Exidor]

No idea on the install or quality.
However, what does it sound like?
Has the rest of your exhaust been modified?
Can you feel any difference in performance?

[Nayla]

ohh mate .. I've recommended it to all my mates with V6's .. I'm saving around 1-2 Ltr's per 100km, more power, sounds real deep, along with th 2 & 1/4 inch cat-back.. i say it sounds like a MINI v8 =p

[GTRwilson]

Sorry to the OP i cant help.

Nayla, is yours an auto? did you JUST get the extractors and nothing else?

[brods2151]

How much did they set you back?

[Nayla]

auto, yea got the pacemakers installed along with the Twin 2.25" Cat-Back Exhaust at the same time, much better than before.. had no muffler on a 2.5" cat-back LOL

all installed $1050 :P

did u get the twin 2 1/4 cat back?

my dad got extractors and a twin 2 1/4 on his vz v6 and it sounds like a rice burner

if u got the same system, you got no hope in sounding like a v8

lol personally i wouldnt it sounds like a weak 4 cyclinder (he thinks its tuff, i laugh at him) or just get a nice quite system man that will still give u a preformance gain

[Kal123]

Did he have the 190kw or 175kw?

As both engines sound completely different with exhausts.

haha yea i told the guy at the store i didn't want that.. he guaranteed me it would'nt sound anything like that.. also he said you go for cheap shyt, thats what you get.. cheap rice sound

So i'd tell your dad to go back and get a better muffler or something :P

My 2 mate's who have VX SS's commented " yea i guess it sortaaa .. sounds like a LITTLE V8, but nothing compared to mine"

[Kal123]

I've seen and heard quite a few SV6's with full exhausts, and they sound great.
No ricer sound at all..

But I have also heard some VZ exec's that sound horrid....

[Kal123]

Nayla, will you be getting high flow cats? Or just sticking with the standards?

[WogBoyz]

his system cost him 1,500 and its all stainless steel so it wasnt cheap just the alloys dont sound good lol never heard a good one in my life

you should post up a recording of ur exhuast

[Nayla]

well now I'm *shocked* stainless steal and still rice..

im planning on doing other things .. Pedders sports-ryrder set-up .. then fix front panel (a tree pull out infront of me, when i was fishing in the wet with balled tires XD) .. after those then the cat's .. $700 to do that's expensive hmm..

ORIGINAL POST PLEASE ANY HELP ??

Can you take a better photo?

[GTRwilson]

id just hit up another exhaust shop. If indeed there is something wrong, the people who did it might play dumb, or tell you theres nothing wrong. Or they might actually admit fault(if there even is any).

sorry guys .. took it when i got home from uni today .. sun was going down ... no lights to light the engine bay atm.. so ill take a better one tomorrow afternoon..

there's no leakage of air, so I'm assuming nothings wrong.. but better to be safe than sorry.

Yer I Still Got The Stock Cats On Mine Do You Have 1 Or 2 Mufflers

[GTRwilson]

[Nayla]

ive got the two.. do you ??

[andyman]

i wouldnt woory about it, all i can see is excess gasket goo squeezed out, and a metal gasket, looks like theyve used a spacer but that will be allright, better to have the fit it like that, than just wedge everything in and break or twist or bend other like ive seen happen,

[Exidor]

Do these crappy sounding Alloytecs have 1 muffler or two?
I think the better sounding ones might just have 2 muffers
like the factory set-up.
Nayla how many does yours have?

crossover pipe makes a good differance in the twins aswell,

mine sounded pretty good with standard v8 exhaust with no rear muffler, had a deep note down low, but got quieter up top
