RPW Extractors- How to fit them?

Post by shadowarrior »

Picked up the RPW extractors from Wayne today.
These (the Y pipe) should bolt straight on to my cat box am guessing? Or do I need any other connectors?

Is it a lot of work to fit the extractors? :\

Thanks for the tip mate. So intake manifold seal and gaskets... any recommendation of brand/part number? Super cheap stuff or should I go to Bursons?
Is there anything I have to take off to get to the headers? :\

id recommend getting the gaskets anyway - as its a pain in the ass to go down the road to get them or eve worse if we fit the rear bank and find out after its all put back you should of replaced it. Youll probably have the stock gasket, and it will probably break.

Yeah am gonna get fresh gaskets and seal, they aren't expensive and saves me from any future hassle.

Any one got any specs/part number? Or should i just ask them for fto header and intake gaskets and manifold seals?

Am guessing the part would be based on our engine's model number and not just car specific?

Thanks Taz. Are you free today or should I bring it on the Bbq day?

LOL @ this thread!

As mentioned on FB Sidds, the only gasket you'll need is the collector to car flange gasket, a $3 gasket from any autoshop.

The factory header gaskets are made from thin layers of steel, so they'll be fine. And why are we pulling intake manifolds off? lol. The rear header can be completely removed from underneath. Get it up as high as possible, crawl under with your socket, socket uni joint, small extension & WD40. You'll be done in 20 mins.
