hey all,
im a serious noob, so forgive me.. have a lot of work going into the engine of my baby very soon, sadly coming up to 200,000km..
wanting to get some opinions about extractors. i want to have my car sound like shes got a little more oomph in her without doing anything to major with exhausts n stuff and was recommended to get some decent extractors in there..
any ideas of which i should get and where i can source em???

I remembered my Mirage sounded pretty "oomph!" after I got a cold air induction kit fitted to it.
Nothing else done on it.

baha... easy mistake to make, i have a guys name, and tend to stay pretty quiet on here.
been thinking about the exhaust but im on a bit of budget atm. the numerous parts i've bought for the upcoming work have taken up just a tad of my bank account

maybe ill have to wait a bit....
also i dont want anything massive on my car that draws a lot of attention. just something that rings nicely in the ears

Thats cool you can achieve all that by starting at the tip of the exhaust and workin back towards the engine.
The extractors will do sweet F all in terms of noise. The noise is mostly controlled by your mufflers (hence their name) and to some degree your cat converter.

Hi while were on the subject of extractors, will a set of extractors make a difference to the performance of the car im sure they will but by how much?
I have a full exaust system and a aftermarket airfilter at the moment and the car sounds great but I am looking to add some more performance parts so would extractors be a good way to go for me?
Thanks Andy
