Yep... They're the ones.

Looks like this GB will add another few hundred HP to the club.... lol..

especially considering it should be adding at least another 150hp or so to mine alone... muhahahahah :twisted:

Hey Sam,

Do the extractors come with the flex pipe, or do I need to get that too. Sorry to be a pest.

Ummm... not sure.

Im not getting them personally as i cant stretch the budget that far.

Just shoot david an email at rpwinfo@iinet.net.au with any questions

Ok, I want to get the extractors... but something tells me that this is just going to be the tip of the iceberg as far as costs are concerned...

I am guessing that it is going to be pretty much useless without a decent intake & full exhaust, and while i've got a cat back exhaust with high flow cat going in soon, and the air intake stuff as well.. I am hoping that someone who has already fitted the extractors can give me an idea of costs?

i.e. fitting extractors & new downpipe? & any hidden costs after the $506 GB price that I haven't though of..

Will I need these?
UAS ENGINE PIPES WITH FLEX JOINT FOR MITSUBISHI FTO PRICE: $595.00

And... is it even going to be worthwhile for a N/A FTO? Or would i just be wasting my money?
I just don't want to order them & then get a nasty shock when i find out its going to be more than i expected to fit them..

Thanks guys.

If you buy RPW extractors, they come with the connecting pipe - you do not need the UAS connector unit. The UAS unit is designed to simply replace the stock connector pipe on standard cast headers.

If you want to do your exhaust properly, be prepared to spend big bucks. Fitting the pipes will set you back at least 3 hours in labour. You then need to upgrade your cat & tailpipe to a larger size to fully get the benefit of extractors. Dont get me wrong though, in my opinion, its the best bang for buck upgrade you can do on an NA motor behind an intake.

With engine mounts, I only recomend doing the main front timing cover engine mount, which is hte one that takes up 70% of the engine loading. Doing more than one engine mount will begin to produce extreme vibration levels inside the car

With orders, some people have paid, many have not :( even though we have sent invoices out and others have only paid some of the invoice, and some orders are still waiting on parts to arrive to us.

I will try to follow up over the next few days on the various orders.

Also we have only really received around 5 orders from this group buy to date, which is quite disapointing. We will honour the group buy at this time but would appreciate if some more orders came on through.

Agreed... Come on guys... David has been nice enough to do this pricing for us. So hold up your end of the bargain.

Not to mention you're not likely to get this sort of pricing ever again!

Bear with me a little longer guy's we have been rushing madly this week with the organisation, delivery and installation of our new dyna pack hub dyno this week in the shop.

We have had to virtually shut the shop down as we completly re - organise the interior to make a proper area to locate the dyno, make water lines, power lines. We also have to service the hub packs and replace the oil, all so we can start tuning again on Saturday.

Friday night hoping to get our galant drag car on the dyno to test it all out.

Some orders have already left, some are still waiting on items to arrive, which, one of the orders for New Zealand I beleive the ignition leads are due any day now if your here somewhere. I beleive there are still several orders which we are still waiting for payment on, I will send emails out on monday to everyone to update those waiting, and those who havn't paid yet :lol:

Once the dyno's up and finalised next week things go back to normal again (well mostly normal lol)
