If you were able to put a deposit up of even $50.00 then I know you are definitly taking a set. ONce we got a deposit, september would be no problem.

if you've got a auto then theres probably no point spending so much money, because the gains i've experienced are very minimal... but i've been in manual fto's which go like a shower of sheet after baving rpw extractors put in. 0-100 times will not improve at all for auto's, probably will have improvements past the 100kph mark though, but how often are you going to going to go that quick
I guess it also depends on what you've already had done, i already had after market exhaust and intake installed.

I had pretty damn good gain from these (mines a manual btw.) A small gain down low, but most gains experienced at high revs. And yes, for all those putting these on, max gains are acheived by completing the exhaust system out to the tail & not just plumbing these into the stock cat & pipes. I went for a 2 1/2" stainless systems, high flow cats & mufflers. Car certainly pulls a greased stick out of dogs a*s now

There were a test on HPI on both Tip Vs Man FTO, & there hardly anything in it. Most people who have a set of extractor are actually got Tip as well.ftoboi wrote:if you've got a auto then theres probably no point spending so much money, because the gains i've experienced are very minimal... but i've been in manual fto's which go like a shower of sheet after baving rpw extractors put in. 0-100 times will not improve at all for auto's, probably will have improvements past the 100kph mark though, but how often are you going to going to go that quickI guess it also depends on what you've already had done, i already had after market exhaust and intake installed.
As per PM, the main gains on a GPX is at mid range, as Bennoz pointed out, its all depends on what mod you already got on your car.mxysxy wrote:Question:
- Would these extractors give more low-end or high-end performance?
- How much I can sell my old stock extractors for?
Your old stock extractor are basically worth $0. Unless someone manage to crack or broke one, then it might worth something.

i've read that HPI article too, however that was just based on my own before / after driving experience with rpw extractors. i've been in a couple of manual fto's with these extractors and i noticed a significant difference, whereas in my case the resulting performance increase did not justify the outlay, in my opinion.

i have only minor modifications,
apexi N1 exhaust system
cold air intake kit
upgraded suspension (God knows what brand)
i take it FTO338 that your car is quite modified? And to satisfy my curiosity, how quick does your tip with your mods get you from 0 - 100, 1/4 mile?
I havent tested for quarter mile before but my 0-100 is around 7.5 - 8 seconds.

Since i never took it to a drag strip, I never had the chance to tested 0-100 or 1/4 miles before. FTO is just a spare car for me to get to work daily. Which only do 2.8km between 5 lights & 2 roundabouts each way heheehehe so I don't really bother to do anymore testing.
But i do have 2 dyno result if that helps
on 3rd it pull 125kwatw
on 4th it pull 102.3kwatw
It started off with 90kwatw
