Hey people just wondering whether the AUII XR6 has decent ectractors on it? and whether they can just be whacked onto my stock AUII?
Would this be cheaper (score XR extractors from wrecker) than to go and buy a new set of extractors. Or are there better extractors than XR ones? I need a bit more from my AU it seems pretty tame compared to the old 90 model VN i had, which is a little sad though mid to high end grunt seems okay. And from what i have seen on the forum the best bang for buck would be from extractors/exhaust setup. Also how much would extractors make the car drone (sound wise)? And lastly is a 2 1/4 or 2 1/2 exhaust better?, based on real world performance of a stock AU, not the "bigger is better" mentality. Cheers all, Simon. |

xr and non xr extractors are the same.
Pacemaker extractors 2.5 mandrel bent exhaust system is best... Extractors only make little to no difference drone wise, its the rest of the system that does it... |

Extractors are not what cause drone. I've got XForce Extractors leading to a stock exhaust cat back and there is no drone in my car. Drone generally comes from a poor combination of mufflers and resonators. Keeping a little back pressure in the system will help prevent drone. So don't go to big on your exhaust. 2 1/2 would be the go.

Having said that, my mods haven't yet stretched to extractors. Maybe both my AUs will get that treatment. Well at least my daily driver, which already has the sports exhaust! GK
