does extractors change the sound of the car?

[Galixia]

i was just wondering if i put say a set of pacemaker extractors on my car will it change the sound of my exhaust or will it all still sound the same?

It will sound the same. There might be slighttt difference but you really won't notice it. It will be a bit louder around the headers though, as in towards the front of the car/in cabin.

will get a deeper sound a bit louder more power also.

in the car and at the front will change, in some cases sounds abit tinny.
tail pipe sound won't change.
your engine will run cooler and feel more free with a slight increase in power.

so changing from the stock extractors which HSV puts on to Pacemakes will make a difference in power and everything?

It will only give you a slight increase but yes.

they are more of a benifit I would assume if you are doing some internal engine work as well.

got to disagree with the first part of this, i don't think it will make the note deeper. but then again i could be wrong as this is going from experience with a v6....

I had a catback exhaust on my VY SS, then put on extractors and hi-flow cats and it really opened the exhaust up. Sounded a lot less muffled and car went a whole heap harder. Different engine to you i know, but i think you will notice a difference from the extractors.

The change in sound generally comes from moving the position of the cat/s around - a longer length of post-cat exhaust will resonate lower than a short piece of the same diameter.
