 Posted: Wed Oct 22, 2003 12:04 pm Post subject: RPW Extractors - questions answered and possible group buy |
 |
|
Okay there has been a lot of questions and waitig on our systems so I though it was time to clarify some questions.
(A) We have still not started the new race design systems yet for the FTO and at this stage we will not be doing so for at least 6 months min.
(B) people are asking about dyno figures for the RPW extractors - we have not released any for the simple reason is that different dyno's give different figures, different mods change the outputs. Quite simply they work and they work well, as anyone who has fitted them will advise you. The more modifications you do to the car they better they get.
If anyone has ever looked at the stock manifold, I mean really looked at them, you will see they are not that good being a very short with lots of internatl restrictions. Remember they were made for emmission. I do agree that the flex pipe on these cars are very restrictive, but if you are a serious modder or want the best for your car you are goint to at some stage have to replace the origonal manifolds.
Finally it is well proven in all forms of motorsport, that manafacturing new headers with as long as possible creates more TORQUE. To clarify our system works like this
Our longer headers over standard incerase the torque and air flow of the system. Our tuned length flex pipe then creates the balanceof theflow to create the horsepower. It is a tuned system that works in conjunction.
(C) Our systems are direct bolt on and are valued at a retail price of $605.00 incl GST and we ship australia and world wide. They are used in GTP touring cars, race cars etc so I don't think you can question our qaulity of the components.
I hope this clears up some questions - we do have some small stocks left before we get some more units made and they are always available. I once tried to set up ages ago a group purchase and offered to drop the price down to $550.00 per set of extractors.
I will do so once again - 10 or more confirmed orders and the price drops down to $550.00 for a set of rpw extractors & flex pipe for the FTO vehicles.
No need for deposits - if one person lets it down, they let everyone down. I have had several people contact me recently about these hence the reason why I have placed this information on the forums. I will also place this information on the other FTO forums as well so that if we can get mroe than 20 orders then the price drops down to $525.00 per set of units.

Not me... I had to swear "no mods for a year" as part of the deal in getting my r-comp tyres for my birthday, hehe.

dyo readings are good weather the dyno is out or not... if you have it in shootout mode it will be as close as possible to any other dyno in OZ.
even then as long as you do both runs on the same day it can give somewhat a real increase figure... would be well worth the effort to do it IMO coz every1 likes to see real world readings..
cheers |

U were lucky to get some already fitted.
Those pics on the proshop web look so cool.
So is it good? Do they improve performance greatly?
I would luv to get my hands on a set! Too much money!

| since i havent driven any other ftos, im not sure how good it is. Overall if it costs over 2 grand, it must be bloody good. I would do some dynos but not sure where a good place is If you look in the members, you can see how mine looks like compared to the original. The pro shop has being covered with fibreglass wrapping to reduce more heat(in my car). |
