power extractor

[RUSTYFAN99]

is the power extractor really worth buying and does it really work?

What are you talking about? Is this an electric thing or????

Is this a part for the Death Star?

It's a piece that's used to lengthen the exhaust on a one-piece setup. Here's an old thread that seems to show that they work ok. It's all I could find.

I dont see how/why these would work? Not saying they dont (I have no clue). Can someone explain this to me also?? Is this just another retarded gimmick?

OK I know what your talking about now...it pretty much works as a longer header, so you have better low end, but you still have the psysics of the tuned pipe. My buddy had one on his RB C-5 and 086 pipe, it gave him a smoother low end, while not sacriaficing the top.

I believe Ofna makes one for the carb side of the engine. It goes under the carb neck, and it lengthens it to make more velocity for the fuel going down the hole... I saw the New Era exhaust one, and i really dont see why it would be neccessary...

this is the same part type as used on the "magic one" pipe...I think it's from Mugen or RB......I don't see how you'd really use this as a novice......I mean usually people still learning to tune won't notice a split second difference in where the power kicks in......
