Hey Guys,
How good are the pipes on the AU LTD 185KW engine? I was surprised to see 'factory extractors' on them. Are they any good, or should I look at the pacemakers for a reasonable gain? Cheers

I haven't looked at them Brad, but i can tell you mine are very squashed and restricted.
I ended up scoring a set for pretty much nothing off an AU2 XR8 that had a full Herrod system fitted. These look heaps bigger than mine and unrestricted in comparrison. I'll take a pic of mine so you can see if they're the same. |

Walker, they are the std "175kw" headers.
The 185kw AU XR8's came with larger diameter and longer pipes than those... |

Hmm, they look quite similar..
I'm assuming the 185's arent really that much better? Perhaps 10KW better at the flywheel??
Sadly all the 175's i've driven seem stronger than the 185 I want. Doh!

The 185's looked pretty decent to me, like "shorty" headers. The collector was a bit small though...
I was making 160rwkw, and running 14.4 @ 96mph with my stock headers and exhaust. |

Wow, ok. What mods had you done to get that power?

If they are going in your AU no worries but I wanted to fit these extractors to the EB & no way they will fit
