AU xr8 factory extractors .. what are they worth?

[BZINGA]

I'm getting pacemaker extractors plus my ballistic cats put on tomorrow so i'll have the factory pipes sitting in the shed as dust collectors .. what sort of money are they worth or do i just ebay them and take what i can get?

[WiggyMK2]

If they are from the 220kw motor, I would say they are worth about $150-$200

These items that wont return much is best put away for unexpected cicumstances and can sometimes get you out of a pickle.Returning vehicles to stock to sell also is another reason to keep,just a thought.

Yeah i hear what your saying, if i don't sell them i'll be stuck with them anyway.

If anyones interested in these, give me a pm ...

yeah if someone was going to the effort of replacing the headers I dont know why you would go to the stock ones.

Id pop them on ebay for $50 and see what happens.

Are you sure about that, I think that at the end of the pipe(near the cat's) they might be a little bigger on the 220's than the 200 but the actual design and pipe's themselves are identical,
I raised this question in another thread about this but it was never answered and I never heard what the differences are that people claim them to be ??.

I replaced the pathetic crushed pipes on my 175kw with a set of XR8 pipes cos it was cheap and an upgrade that was worth doing. Sure I could have gone Paceys etc but this suited my requirments at the time.

That's what i was thinking, they gotta be useable for someone surely.

[Windsor220]

I sold a set of 220 ones for $50 to a member on here. Tried ebay but just got a heap of time wasters.

[CFOUR]

My whole system (ute) went in the exhaust shops bin. That's at least how much there worth to me.

[blownv8au]

i told the exhaust shop to throw mine in the back, they forgot i forgot. I wish i remembered was going to try to use them to make turbo manifolds on a future project.

[UU TS50]

i sold the ones off my 220 for $150 in the local classifieds .They went onto a fairmont 5L

220 & T3 250 are the same.
I have T3 factory HPC HM Headers on my T2 and they bolted straight up.

If anyones interested in these pipes, they are on ebay -

200kw and 220kw factory headers are the same.
Both need the collector section cut off and opened up, once this is done they are quite a good header, bang for buck on a mild 5.0.
We put them on the AUII Fairmont Ghia 5.0 with the modified collectors and it was a great improvement over stock.

How positive would you prefer it? Just telling you my opinion, it wasn't meant to be derogatory.

Yeah that's what I believe, I am sure they are identical.

They might be..
But I am sure the 200 and 220 factory header's are the same, people have said in other thread's that they are different but I am yet to hear how ?.

[LUXO_8]

just FYI if someone asks you, these will not fit EB-EL engine bays, (i looked into it back in the day) so pretty much limited to selling to an AU non XR8 owner
good luck with the sale

They both bolt up the same the difference is in the collector as for the 220 and T3 style 220 are more of a tri y and the T is a 4 into 1 type as far as the OP
for what it is worth anyware from $100 + is good it will depend on what is out there at the time of sale .. And a bit more useless info for you we did some testing way back when. a 220 with a cat back made on average 5 to 7 rwk more than stock, with factory headers . with Pacey TRI Ys made a extra 3 to 4 rwk on top of that much the same with the 4 into 1s but shifted the torque and power band up the mid to top end of the range .. Horses for courses I suppose but definatley wouldnt be binning them
