Ok so the shims ended up costing me about $100 for a set.

But anyway i made a comparison video of stock extractors and cat vs my stainless steel ones and the Venom 100cpsi high flow cat.

Really man ? Sweet cheers ! i met up with my old man the other day and hes a nerd when it comes to cars because he had a tripple s pulsar worked off its head and he used to race and so on.. but he said that i shouldn't worry about extractors because theres the possibility that they will loose power and so on but do you reckon its worth a shot ?

and @ the other guy sorry i forgot your name haha , how much did they charge you to install your extractors man ?

Ride: EF XR6 Wagon, AU2 XR6 VCT

Power: 148 rwkw

Location: Auckland
New Zealand

Extractors/headers work! They took a full second off the 0-100 kmh time of my AU2. I deleted the cat at the same time, which would create some of the improvement, but probably less than half. I did the same to my EF, and it motors and sounds superb. On the Falcon six, I doubt even the worst headers would cause you to lose power.
