Wondering if anyone has experience with fitting exhaust extractors to a non turbo '84 60 series? Is there any benefit? I have the chance to pick up a set for what would seem a good price from a wreck. Any help/thoughts would be appreciated. thanks from Keeponpebbling.

got some on my 75 series 2h about 600$ fitted unfortunatly they were replacing xtracters so I cant garantee a benifit but I have been assured it is the cheapest way of getting more power. I wouldnt pay more than $50-100 from a wreck coz you will struggle to get them on after they have been used. I had the head done on my wagon and the xtractors gave the mechanic a workout getting them back on also they are not like manifolds and are a wear item

Greg,
Pesty (SA) put a set of Pacemakers (to match the one in his chest) on his 60 series a few months ago as well as a 2.5" system. It sounds real cool and he can nearly keep up with me now (when he's going down hill).
Take no notice of me....we're always taking the p*ss out of one another. I just seem to convince him the Patrol is better than his old rust bucket!!!LOLOL

Hi Eric just to prove that the 60 is superior though you need no convincing, open my rig pic, an a tiny white dot in the background on a small hill is Roachies nissan, he wouldnt come up Mt Arden because it was steep? LOL

Now, now blokes......... Pesty knows that the reason they ALWAYS make me tail-end charlie is so that I can stop and pick up all the bits that fall off the tojos and chuck em on my roof rack. LOL

Hi greg, yes this is pesty with the funny noises out his rear end !!!LOL
Mate go for it. It made a marked difference to the power of the 2h more so in the upper rev range, and hangs on much better before needing to change down.
Put a new 2 1/2 ' system on with a fully free flowing muffler ( one you can look through) as deisels dont make as much noise as petrols. The exhaust bloke that did mine uses a 2h 75 ute and he runs around with this setup but with only a hotdog on but it was a little to noisy for me, mine has a nice note and bark to it.
