Dude, the reason no one has replied is because it's an utter waste of money. As for performance gains, well you could buy a computer and exhaust system, and I guarantee you, grandma's in stock 6cyl Falcons will still shut you. And even if you did spend money on your V6, chances are the little extra power you may get would blow your 4speed automatic gear box.

Haha, dont be mean 351 *sniggers* oh how true it is though Narh if you want to waste your money, get some Lukeys fitted, they are a quality header, have been around for donkeys years, and they are nice on the hip pocket to boot! Or if you want to waste even more money, get a set of Pacemaker Race Series (same as on the VN racecars)... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

If you want a more useful responce about all things VS, your prolly gonna get it on a more VS dedicated forums .. try justcommodores.com or ls1.com.au .. (yes, ls1.com.au even caters for V6's) Theres nothing wrong with this forum, its just its knowledge base is very VL focussed.

Well 351, thanks for the original response. By the way how is the primate cage at the melbourne zoo?I like the 'Ford good Holden ****e' attitude, gee any bozo can have an opinion, even ape's like you. Although this forum is fundamentaly focused on VL Turbo's and the alike, there is a section called 'Other car discussion' which we are all residing in at this moment. Regards,

extractors are unlikely to give you a noticable power gain dude, maybe if you did ur whole exhaust and CAI or something you might vaugely notice.
