[ss507vy]

I,m about to purchase a set of extractors 4 into 1 with 1 3/4 primary's with 3" outlet for my ls1 which has some minor mods such as cold air intake, 3" single sports system and bigger maff pipe. My question is I'm not sure about the quality of them they are 304 grade stainless is this any good? Can someone please give some advice.
Cheers,

What brand and model are they.

The grade stainless is good

Boyley is correct, there is nothing wrong with 304 S/S, The better question is what brand, How thick are the walls, how good do they flow etc.

There actually a custom job on e-bay going pretty cheap for stainless and they look like there made with quality.

Disregard the price for one minute and consider the fit to your car. It would be disappointing to go to fit these and they end up rubbing etc. For a bit extra you can buy some well known brand such as pacemaker and be sure they will fit your car. Ask the selelr some pertinent questions such as

Do you guarentee they will fit my car, Will you refund my money if they are not as advertised etc etc.

If you do buy them let us all know how they fit etc.

You may get a good fitted deal from your local shop for some nice 4-1 paccies. You are going to require cats and probably a mod to your cat back also.

Good luck

These appear to be DiFilippo knock-offs and there have been mixed opinions regarding their ease of fitment. There is at least one thread about them, so do a search and you may have a bit of reading and deciding to do.

Sometimes buying at a cheap price-point is good, at other times, it is not so good, but, yes, they are shiny.........

this seller has changed his name but had plenty of good feedback previously about those headers

its strange as to why he would change his ebay seller ID though :errr::errr:

edit: this needs to be moved to the correct part of the forum

He may have changed his name to more accurately reflect what hes selling by the look of it.

Don't know about fitment, but otherwise appear to be OK quality.
Only concern is they reduce to some where between 2" and 2 1/2" in the collector.
