I guess it all comes down to personal preference.

I paid ~$1500 all up for my exhaust system. The extractors were $440, with $250 HPC plus another ~$250 for postage and labour. The other $500 went into the high flow cat and cannon.

When I did it I thought "great, an extra 20rwkw (plus the low end power) on my NA Supra is just what I need", spent all the money and was... unimpressed. I don't want people to make the same mistake. It's definitely there, and you can feel it, but its nothing amazing.

when i did the pulsar i did the catback and didn't notice much. then a month or so later did the extractors and it made a massive difference. not much down low but above 5000rpm was totally different. pulled hard all the way to 7500 instead of starting to choke at 5500rpm. all up the system cost me about $650. left the stock cat cause it was 2.5". then another guy in town with a SSS who still had the stock headers took ot for a drive to see if it was worthwhile getting some and was very impressed with the difference it made.

then when i got the magna i did the catback first. made a noticable difference. then did the extractors and it didn't really make any difference. so when i got my second magna i didn't bother putting extractors on there. and from reading on the magna forums most people agree. they say that there is no point putting on extractors unless you have put in bigger cams. and when you look at the times people have run there is little difference between those with extractors and those without, yet if you look at the pulsars there is a bit of a difference.

Personally, i'd be stoked if i paid $1500 for 20rwkw gain!

I have paid $1200 to gain 6rwkw, and given the chance, i'd do it again. It's not all just the peak power too...the response, power curve/average, power delivery and knocking/detonation all counts too when you do a mod. At least that's how i look at it.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
