hi there
I am thinking of putting extractors on my 2004 nissan navara 3.2 diesel
(no-turbo).I noticed when climbing steep hill/ underload/ it struggles to get up.
Can anyone tell me the pros/ cons ,as i have heard that extractors give you more torque down low. as i dont want to put a torbo on. due to past experience with them, would this the go
much appreciated

Hi Leon
I second Muzzgit's reply get the extractors, plus exhaust, plus muffler. Son's Hilux, now dearly departed, not unbreakable, was changed to extractors, exhaust (less bends) and a sports muffler by Glenroy exhausts Vic, made aslot of difference to its drivability and used less fuel. Used to struggle at 95, after work happy to cruise at 110.

I have put extractors on two of my forby's. Didn't notice much difference on the first (FJ45) cos I left the standard exhaust as it was. Second time around (FJ62) I had the whole system changed to a two and a quarter inch with quality extractors and was very happy with the difference it made.
Going to an exhaust of a really big diameter can actually have a negetive impact, and my brother can attest to this.
He was advised to go to a two and three quarter inch system with extractors on his HJ62, not only did the dyno result come back as same torque but less power, his fuel consumption also went up !!
We know this, cos on that day he couldn't wait around for them to change things, he had to go to work and wouldn't be back in town for two weeks. When he went back, they farted around with more exhauasts, more dyno runs, same results. In the end he paid them nothing, went elsewhere, had a smaller exhaust put on with better results.
The original bunch were stubbornly saying the only option was BIG BIG BIG.
