True extractors are pipes which are the same length from the exhaust port that meet together at a collector.

Headers are like extractors (made from pipes) except the pipes aren't the same length and usually join to each other before reaching a collector.

Nah mate. Extractors and headers are the exact same thing, its just they have always been called extractors here for decades, headers always in the US.
