extractors are being developed on my car for mass production. My car is being used as the engine block for the moulding.

Basically in July this year, extractors should be available for purchase.

i got a quote of $600 plus a high flow cat. but as my car is the "test dummy" its dramatically less.

Mr sikma - not everyone will do there modifications in the same order as you will, personally im doing the tints for the look but also the heat.
Also i got them now because i got a really good deal! so it was well worth it.
$150

If your getting extractors then you;ll have to get an exhaust some time soon if you havent gotten already.

Id rather get front and rear sway bars for the Barina instead of extractors, no need to improve performance for such a small car, improve the handelling and enjoy the drive.
Make sure you drop it like its hott when you get the rims :D


EDIT: Sorry, didnt read the above post, lol. Yeah go get thos headers man, should be an interesting result.

i think OzzySri had custom made extractors in his corsa, dont know if it made a big difference but, hopefully for the price its good.

Hollandia 300L (s=small l=large) classique(?) topslider $1295 installed
Was tossing up between 2 models, one has 2 memory positions and a roller blind(which doesnt completely disappear into the rear section), controlpanel looks HOT!. On the other a panel clips to the glass (DUG74 has this one FWIR) but when off the glass section is unobscured, no control panel just a button.
Im going with the latter. Ill velcro the cover under the parcel shelf or something.....

Yep, Hurricane Headers/Liverpool Exhaust did them.
Hardly any gains in the butt dyno.

my theory on whiteline......designed for subaru and modified for other cars.

ATM i have H&R springs (mentioned above) with stock shocks.....next thing will probs be H&R shocks then a new set of front disks n rotors, as im experiencing some heat sock with the brakes.....

yeah fair enough. i was just saying alot of people just get it done straight away. also why else would you do the tint other than the look and for the heat?

do you get a warranty on that $150- special?
