What is better headers or extractors?
Headers are aftermarket upgrade exhaust manifolds that use an individual steel tube for each cylinder. These tubes all connect to a collector pipe. The tubes are smooth and equal in length. Performance gains, better fuel economy, better exhaust note, are all benefits of extractors.
How much horsepower do performance headers add?
In general, a quality set of headers should provide an increase of approximately 10-20 horsepower, and if you’re restrained with your right foot, you may even see an increase in fuel mileage.
Do extractors improve performance?
Extractors make it easier for the car engine to push exhaust gases out of the cylinders. With your cars engine running more efficiently, you will notice improvements in fuel economy, and performance.
Do extractors increase HP?
The extractors have longer individual tubes so that upon where they merge into the cone, one pipe helps suck the pressure from the other pipe via inertia. The increase in efficiency means a cleaner environment and the cylinders result in a significantly improved power production.
Are extractors worth it?
Are extractors worth it? Depends, if you are looking at modding the engine a fair bit, i.e cam, headwork, intake than id say yes definately worth it. You need them to free up the breathing as the stock manifold doesnt flow too well compared to a set of mandrel bent pipes so they will help in the long run.

What’s the difference between a header and an extractor?
Headers and extractors are one and the same. I have worked in the exhaust industry and it is just a difference in names. Has nothing to do with 4>1’s, 4>2>1’s, tuned or interference, just refer’s to all tubular replacement exhaust manifolds. chops 29-11-2006, 08:37 AM From http://www.pacemaker.com.au/faq.html
