Terrific vid mate. Only issue with feedback is the thin wall tube they use. They rust out reasonably quickly. Best option is to ceramic coat them inside and out. A smear of rtv high temp on the head to extractor gasket is highly advisable. Lastly, the heat shield is essential. Without it the heat will burn the bonnet insulation and melt the loom that runs down the driver side inner guard. I learnt this the hard way. Love ya work champion

Damn a second differnece that pretty impressive actually. Ive seen someone messure results on a proper cold air intake set up (actually breathing in outside air) and they managed to shave off half a second so. With redisgned proper cold air intake, headers, high flow cat and exhaust its safe to say you can take off about 1.5 seconds on a 0 to 100 without a tune and maybe 2 seconds with a tune. Thats definitely impressive for stock power

@anthonypllu38642 жыл бұрын
i personally love the deep non raspy sound of the stock headers but the performance gain is a no brainer, 1 sec to 100 is a huge deal with no tune etc, and with equal length headers the exhaust pulse waves acutally really help to suck the gases out of the oposing cylinder and with really good "tuned length" headers it can auctally case a vaccum on the cylinder ready to suck the next lot of air in, really good setups on some euro cars have seen gains eqal to 7psi more cylinder pressure with good headers. its like a bolt on budget turbo haha.

Hi, back when i was much younger, i bought a beater xw falcon 3.6 from a wrecker for $400 with rego, diamond white black trim, the trim was swapped later with a bloke that worked at the petrol station i filled up, be had a glamour XY fairmont v8 with blue trim, anyway right or wrong he wanted my black trim, he offered to do the swap and fill p my car with fuel and give me a case of beer, i told him i dont drink and i would be happy for the fuel Strange part is his trim was 99% perfect and my black trim way about 70% good and the front seats sagged Anyway, i had that car for 8 years and it cost me almost noting except for the 6 month oil and filter changes that i done myself. One day mum comments on the cat makes noises and what had happened is the engine pipe had a burn hole on the front bend i let it go for a few weeks, one day in chatting the bloke i swaped the trim wife ( still 100% happy ) said he will check with the repair shop come back next week I went back and they had a used pacemaker extractor from a customer car who went from 6 to 8 - they fitted it all for basically free lunch ( maccas or kentucky ) Wow - the car drove really good, it chirped on flat to the floor 1 > 2 shifts standing start , in comparison if felt like the car before was running a dead cylinder or the handbrake was on It now reminds me of everyold school trick was holley 350, gt40 coil, extractors, and turn the air filter lid upside down - a no frills power upgrade

It sounds awesome and has a good response, but I could not say it's better than the factory as far as power goes.
