possibly down for a set. will confirm v. shortly.

what price am I looking at for a high-flow 2.5" cat? rough price on install?

you can pick up at high flow cat for approximately $100, install i wouldn't know not a hard a hard job tho.

Needs to be fabricated to....

yes, they keep a few in stock but for large orders they need to fabricate.

this is actually an old thread from last year, we've just used this one instead of making a new one. as a lot of the older information is still quite relevant.

with the addition of 4 door love we have 7 people, another 3 more would be good and we can go ahead.

Got my extractors at work today ... nice and orange lol

Just a quick heads up to people ...

I asked for a 2.5" oulet and they sent me a set of extractors with a 2" outlet ...

dunno why or what I can do about it ? I thought they only came in 2.25 or 2.5 inch not 2 inch ... I measured up with vernier calipers and it came out to exactly 2 inch ...

currently have a 2.5" exhaust system ... might have to get the exhaust shop to cut off the rear collector and weld on a 2.5" collector ...

will have to see what the exhaust shop say if they can cut the collector off and make up a 2.5" outlet or not

Ahh wells ... shit happens I guess ..

I am quite impatient at times and hate waiting for stuff ... when I want something I must have it like yesterday ...

Gonna fit the extractors myself and get the exhaust shop to then cut the collector off and make up a 2.5" collector back to the standard Cat converter then to my 2.5" exhaust ...

Hopefully I notice an improvement in low to mid range performance from what others have said it is noticeable so I will wait and see ...

My mate at the exhaust shop will more than likely want to put a flex joint in where the collector normally is to help with flex of the engine so that the exhaust doesn't crack so I will see what he recommends as he has done a couple performance exhausts for me in the past and has always put a flex joint in this position...

... Hope your group buy goes well :D

P.S - The extractors are nice and Orange :P

Quick heads up for people ...

These extractors are not just a quick bolt on job ... where they weld the pipes onto the header plate the welds are too large to put the spacers on so that you can bolt them on properly ... you will either have to die grind the welds down so you can fit the shims or modify the spacers somehow ... I gave my spacers a grind but it isn't good enuf to clear the welds so I will have to pull the extractors off and die grind some of there welds away so that I can tension them up properly ...

But I did notice a bloody huge difference in engine responsiveness and more power through the mid to high end range ... gets up to speed alot smoother and pickup is much better ...

You guys will notice the difference in power that's for sure ...

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
