Hey, I think I remember parking next to another ED there a while back, had rims, but wasn't lowered, probably yours?

So i got the headers and zorst put on my ED on Saturday.
Thanks for the advice cause i love the headers. Revs so freely, and the zorst sounds good. Not loud but barks when i give it some stick.
Anyway i am now a happy chappy.

My mate told me that the difference between headers and extractors (as previously discussed in this thread) was:
Extractors - 6 go into 1
Headers - 3 to into 1 x 2

Is this crap or is he onto something?

As far as I know, its just 2 different words.

But MAYBE....... originally, when people were referring to 'extractors', they were talking about 'tuned length headers',
i.e. Headers that were of a special tuned length to not only provide better flow, but also to "extract" the exhaust gasses from within the cylinders by using the velocity of the exiting exhaust pulses, and the low pressure region created just behind them.......

Its only an idea...

Thanx

LPG burns hotter, speeding up the corrosion of the exhaust system. They just dont want to honour the warranty in a race or lpg application cos they know they won't last as long. Having said that, each gas setup seems to be slightly different too, so just check where your lpg hardware lies (mainly the copper fuel line) as you dont want the exhaust heat too close to any of the lpg system. $575 seems OK from what i've seen. I'm still holding out to get a tuned set with large primaries (probably custom) but may just settle on PH4000's.

P.S. sorry bout the hijack

The reason they say no LPG is that the pacy 4480 headders are wide and will touch the factory LPG converter.
