Undo the two bolts on the rack, undo the steering coupling and put the shaft up onto the chassis rail, then pull the rack back and to the right.

You can do all that with the original exhaust removed as you can remove it all without taking the rack out.

too much for starters, and no its not going to be a bang for buck mod really @ $750. Its just its a relativly easy bolt on mod that dosnt need any engine mods. Better off getting yourself a set of good second hand ones and fitting them yourself to make it a bang for buck mod.

Extractors won't really give you more power, all they will do is decrease exhaust back pressure and change your torque curve. It is more of a 'seat of the pants' improvement.

You're not getting the ones advertised on here are you? They are VT ones.

Try to avoid buying commodore parts off ebay unless they really do check out well. If you're in any doubt resist the urge to buy.

ESPECIALLY dont buy any memcals or chips off ebay. COMPLETE crap..
