Grand Vitara 2L Extractors (Installed with Pics)

Post by bendev »

Has anyone used these extractors?
Do they really exist?
How come I can’t find anything about them on the net, anywhere?

Fitted the Extractors the other day, Bolt in my eye.
Don't get me wrong there a great product but did they just forget to finish welding them?

So after i finished welding what was forgotten I had to run them on the linisher because when I tested how flat the flange plate was with a straight edge they failed.

Image

After all this the rest was simple, until I had to bolt the flange up under the car. It was totally the wrong size.
Apart from these little defects, there great. Noticeable power gain, and just a little more noise.

Looks OK, but....

Let's see.

The welds were incomplete, the flange wasn't flat and the bolt holes were in the wrong place.

Doesn't sound like a great product to me.

FWIW, did you notice any difference in performance?

the best way to have that stuff fitted is to take it to an exhaust shop. would be $100 to fit it properly, align flanges and weld it all up.

Well down low in the rev range it feels like it pulls a little bit more, but i'll really tell this week end when I go for a drive down stockton beach.
Under a bit of load climbing some dunes I'll should know thenl.

I'll keep you posted.

They look like they were Pacemaker brand.

The flange may have been flat before the welding.

Pacemaker only list for the Swift? Unlikely they'd get them wrong for a local model- perhaps they're imported from O/S?

Nah, they were a bit bowed when I got them, don't get me wrong not a lot, but enough to worry about. The few people I spoke to said they will be Ok and that they would probably pull up but better be safe than sorry.

they don't have their models on the website. I had a set for a v6 capri- still not on the website.
