Hi guys I own a 76 XC, It has a stock 4.1L straight-6. Ive had it for 2 years and have enjoyed it but feel like i need a bit more noise and power now, can someone give me a point in the right direction on where to look for extractors, websites, brands, tips, really anything. Thank you

Thanks Dean, ive learnt alot over the past day and its clear to me its not as simple as I hoped. Im going to speak around before making a decision, definitely want things done right

you could just pull the whole exhaust system and manifold off to store them and then fit extractors and a new exhaust system so you could go back to stock if you ever wanted to Your cars sounded quite nice wouldnt mind that noise but not bothered enough to do that much right now 2 shops told me they would have to fabricate new pipe and weld it to the existing pipe, Im tempted to just grab and cut my own pipe, slide it over the existing and new then clamp both ends of it down tightly. Would that work? And 0-100? Ill give you 100-120 which takes twice as long

Thanks Macman i like yours too, is it a cortina? Some people enjoy the ear rape but theres an art to it, i like the sound of mine but want a BIT more noise so im hoping extractors will do it. I rang around and it will fit on but need to take it to a shop to get the 2 1/2 outlet taken down to i believe mine is around 1.8 inches. Might not follow through with the extractors as im told its a permanent modification and the old cant be put back on

Looking at it i believe it may actually fit i believe i only need the top right hole and the bottom left gap they've got open. I think having all the holes are for other models. Did you have to cut or modify yours at all? @CHESTNUTXE

I just ran into a problem, my bolts dont line up with what the pacemakers ph4470 are. They say it fits XC but it doesnt look like it, is this what you purchased?

Im not so good with all the terminology, do you mean run a 2 inch from the extractors all the way back?

Thanks guys, @CHESTNUTXE is yours a 6-2-1 design for the stock motor? My piping is 1.8 inches all through and dont think 230km motor would work well with a 2 1/2 exhaust. I would just like the extractors for a bit bigger piping plus mine is 6-1 would be interesting to see with bigger pipes and 6-2-1. May as well get the pacemakers just wanted something more and cant go past all the positive comments. Thank you @deankdx its my 1st time doing an exhaust and like to learn from experience, ill let you know if the extractors change the sound at the back

I feel like a whole new exhaust and muffler will cost a bit too much for what I want, I don't want to ruin the cars originality too much and with the extractors it will be bolt on and off quickly if i want to swap back, if its not enough i can buy a little muffler afterwards, can you recommend any brands? I've seen "Pacemakers", "Tiger Headers" and "Hurricane headers".
