Extractors and cats... *UPDATE Pg 6 Final Video
I currently have a VE SS with a twin 2.5" Walkinshaw cat back.
I want to finish off the exhaust with extractors and cats.
Now I'm not really here to ask what ones to buy, as I've read a million threads about pacemaker and hurricane and this and that and I have a fairly good idea of what parts to buy.
What I do want to ask though is what makes some brands (or unbranded products) so cheap?
I've been quoted around $1300ish for 1 7/8 hurricane extractors with manta cats to suit. Which I think is a pretty good price for what people agree to be a good product.
But if I was to bust open the eBay, there is a few more cheaper options.
eg. $830 (extractors and cats, no brand in add) HOLDEN COMMODORE VE V8 6.0L EXTRACTORS & CATS STAINLESS STEEL BRAND NEW | eBay
eg. $1100 (extractors and cats, possibly x-force?) HOLDEN VE SS 6.0L V8 X-FORCE MILD STEEL EXTRACTORS & STAINLESS STEEL CATS | eBay
Does anyone have any idea who produces these cheaper versions? Anyone tried using them? Do they give less power? Are they a crappy fitment? I really can't find any information of people saying either good, or bad things about these cheaper options.
Any help appriciated, thanks.
