Extractors on TM
Any thoughts on these Listing #: 569974872. It looks like where it goes 2 into one that having the top pipe go over the connecting pipe will cause a lot of disturbance :/
Don't think you'd gain any power with those over stock.
I went from an average set of Apexi 4-1 headers (no noticeable difference to stock) to a set of top quality Maruha 4-2-1 headers and the difference is absolute night and day.
If you have cracked/broken stock headers then it might be worth getting them but if you're after power you'll want a high quality set.

Aftermarket extractors
Don't waste your money mate
Stock exhaust manifolds work a treat.
I'm running 225hp through the standard exhaust manifold at the moment.
If they make a claim for power increases, ask if they'll give a money back guarantee if it doesn't make it on the dyno. Doubt they'll take you up on the offer.

Factory Headers
Yep, if you have a look under the heatshield, you'll see the factory setup is actually a very nice bit of kit,
I'd say most aftermarket setups would make little difference to overall flow. and probably crack after a while,

I have these headers on my car, when AL,S mufflers fitted them he said they look to be good quality. Did they give anymore power? Hard to say as I did the complete system at the same time and that did make a difrence (not masive but)
The car sounds great and they are very nice looking headers, but now I have a heat blanket and supercharger covering them
Hope that helps.

Factory Exhaust
The stock exhaust is better than most people think
I'm still running the stock size, and making over 220hp
Might build a decent 2 1/4" setup later, but doubt it would give more than 5-10hp more if I was lucky.
With a turbo is may be a different story.

Yes one res and a jackson racing muffler, may need one more res to be certafiable. Ands lets face it.........we do a LOT of things to our car because it looks/sounds better than stadard and my exhayst system wins on both those reasons.
Yes it may only be 5-10hp better than standard but dam! it is wayyyyyyy cooler.
