I dunno, $200.00 isn't too bad. I'd definately be considering it. |

Just a quick question while we are talking about extractors, would extractors off an I6 EB engine fit onto an EF or EL. I am presuming they would, but not sure.

I've got Genies in the Sprint, though they're ceramic coated black, so they don't stick out like that!
And now I have stainless steel "X-Force" extractors in the 'mont. Thanks to Pacey Comps not fitting (I really hate LPG)

Damn, yeah. I'm still trying to find a paint that can stand up to the heat.

The only problems with the genies are the secondary pipes are tiny in length. The 4,5,6 cyclinder primarys tri-cone straight into the flange for the single pipe and the 1,2,3 cyclinders are about 10cm long.
Where the pacies 4499's have similar length primaries but the secondary's are about 1 foot long and join up where the cat sits. Genies aren't much better than the stock exhaust manifold, i had the exact set on my old EB falcon and i didn't notice bee's d**k in performance difference. Maybe gave a bit better low down performance, but nothing top end...............
