If they are anything like the 3.6 litre i wouldn't be putting extractors on. It will change your air flow past the sensors and all day you will have a check engine light. I've seen it happen to many times to our customers. Every single person I know that has fitted extractors have had a check engine light pop up.

I had no engine lights with the fitment of pacemakers on my LLT 3.6. Get it done by good operators...CHE in Sydney did mine....nice neat job!!

I was planning on a big spend soon, so I was thinking to just put everything on at once and get a tune, id want everything there when I get the tune so there isn't any check engine light later on If I get these after, I'm planning on, mace manifold spacers, 20-25% race underdrive pully kit, don't no what one, otr cai (orrsum) I have a redbaCk catback exhaust so il put extractors on it as well, and then a dyno tune, it's the only things I can think of that thy can do to a my sidi 3.6l engine. And I'm getting a hi proformance steering pump today because I blew up the stock one from doing doughnuts haha

Well destroying my car doing doughnuts is not high on my list of things to do and I in a way loathe to provide you any more info but if you save your pennies a bit longer cams may well become available.

The LLT 3.6ltr SIDI engine uses conventional style exhaust manifolds. There are extractors/(tubular headers) for these engines. Engine lamp light issues a generally caused my miss reads of gasses flowing by the O2 sensor. This is mostly caused by the positioning of the O2 sensor after installing aftermarket extractors etc and the sensors positioning compared to factory.

That issue can be easily rectified by a reputable tuner who knows what they are doing.

The newer of the Series2 VE's (built in 2012) have a different configuration V6 3.0 and 3.6ltr SIDI engine. These are identified as LFX. Basically the engines exhaust manifold is intergrated into the design of the engine head resulting in just a single engine pipe being bolted to the head going to the CAT.

Refer to pics below of the LFX setup - What setups (from the engine) are best or available for these engines I cann't tell you.

ahh knew I was right about one of the V6 engines not being able to put extractors on them:blah blah:

seems like all you could do is make the flange hole a little larger for better flow on the LFX
