i wouldnt mind usin sum different extractors. i dunno why paceys dont use stainless. exhaust fumes cause mild steeel to rust on the inside out over a period of time

Well all i can say is i have a vxs pac red hot manual. and i have pacemakers with lukey 2 and a half inch exhaust and i have found it to be fantastic noticeable improvement across the whole rev range, but especially down low. i can be much more gentle on the throttle off the line and get exactly what im looking for. Just my 2c given i have the same model as yours (1year newer)

That thread on SC is not the be all and end all.

Go find an exhaust place that has dyno sheets for all different headers fitted to the same car. HM are not what they are cracked up to be.

Pacemaker and Advance are much of a muchness but Advance are behind in the build quality.

Performance - Pacemaker or Advanced, if your going for sound it will vary, lukey have some sound clips on their website which are pretty cool.

I choose Advance - support the local adelaide business - I looked at Pacemakers and advance headers in person - they looked the same in build and design

You could not have looked very closely... And if you did, I suggest you take a second look.

Pacemaker are also an Adelaide business.
