Im getting some extractors for my VL and I was wondering if I get a 2.5" system and these extractors say 2 1/4 will it fit together?

Yes. Though I don't think you need to be spending that money on a set of extractors. If you are after a new set there are sellers on ebay that have them for $250. but if you are okay with second hand. you can get them on the forum for around 50 bucks.
Your best off just getting a second hand set and putting the $450 away towards a turbo setup later on.

Also I just thought id add in a catalytic converter goes between the extractors and the exhaust catback. Just in case you weren't sure.

I was told that pacemakers are the best ones from a mechanic. And one more questions can I put ethanol in my VL?

Ethanol can build up crap in your fuel lines, I would run at least 95 as the VL computer is based on a non ethanol mixture.
Also While they might be the best (I'm not sure) your cost benefit ratio will be minimal. It's an N/A VL. Your best off just Knowing that its going to be slow either way.

I dont care about it being slow, I just want it to sound good and to be economical thats why im putting it on gas.

lol, so true, my NA calais makes my stockish SL turbo feel like a lambo
Ethanol and Gas are completely different. The best way to economy in a VL is standard turbo setup, slightly higher boost, possibly add an intercooler. Mine is standard everything apart from boosted to 10PSI (up from factory 6) and i get near 600km per tank highway driving, and thats not exactly driving like a grandma, but its not thrashing it either if you get what i mean

P.S a 2.5 inch exhaust on a NA will probably reduce economy, stick with the 2 1/4.

15-11-11, 18:55 GMT+10#11 Correct pacemakers are the best brand (arguably - theyre good) Spending $500 on some n.a 6 banger extractors!? Forget about it! For the exact same effect get a second hand set for $50 and spray em with some heat proof paint while theyre out.
You might notice a 0.1% power different with the less flowing cheaper ones.
