    Default Fitting extractors.

    I'm looking to fit a set of redback extractors to my alloytec. From what I've read elsewhere, it looks like there's welding involved. I'm not so crash hot with a welder, so am I better off letting a zorst shop rake care of it?

    Also, when I fitted my cat back system, I noticed it didn't bolt straight onto the cats, but a couple of pipes leading from the cats. Is there any way to replace these with larger bore pipes without messing up the cat back setup?

    Thanks,
    Tom

    The last thing you want to do is bolt on extractors to your cats, it needs to be perfectly welded (or theres gonna be trouble).
    If you're not confident with welding, take it to an exhaust shop or someone who can weld, apart from the welding it's a pretty straight forward job!

    In all honesty it's better off taking it to an exhaust shop. That way you know it's done right and if it isn't you have a warranty.
