i dont have pics but basically the stock manifold is a 6 into one unit and looks really ugly, whereas the actualy extractors, have the same length pipe coming out of each exaust outlet, then each set of 3 (front and back) into 2 pipes and then finally flanged into 1.

SillyFryFresh,

I am really happy with the extractors. They give it heaps more go at low revs and make it more fun to drive around town normally. Fuel economy is improved as well. I've gone from getting about 11L/100km to about 10.2L/100km (that's being pretty hard on the car, lots of start stop traffic). You get a nice deep rumble to the exhaust as well.

My only gripe is the heat they create. If you get them, before you have them fitted, remove the paint and then wrap them in some exhaust wrap, because its bloody hard to do it once they're on the car. I'm looking at making a custom heat shield for the extractors and wrapping my intake pipe in some cool tape instead of this.

Hope this helps

    • Its also worth mentioning that 30 years after it left the factory and god knows how many missed oil changes since, there is every possibility that one or more lifters are ticking because they are sticky/gummed up. To resolve that you need to pull the cams then pull each lifter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, soak in oil and re-install, and they should come up good as new.
    • What air filter are you running? Is it a panel filter in the stock air box, or a pod filter? Is the air filter the type that is oiled?   If you unplug the IACV, what rpm does the engine idle at?
    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
