I've got em,
They are good.
Little power loss while engine is cold,
More grunt and pull in low ranges when the engine warms up :)
Sounds great :D
Two options really, hurricane or rpw.
Use the search bar and you will find the details.

They seem to be worth it as they apparently increase both performance and fuel economy, but im a bit "uneducated" when it comes to car parts. Any specific brands or types I should be looking for? :oops:

Good to know, thanks! How much should I be expecting to pay for those bad boys?

Couple hundred for installation

Not complicated, just a PITA (rusted bolts, tight spaces)

Even though I am not usually a fan of crude humor, I must applaud you on that one Bennoz ;)


To the OP, don't forget you'll need to adjust the fuel pressure via a FPR after fitting extractors

I imagine the front set of extractors could be made extremely easy by taking the radiator out but the rear ones would not be fun.
