I have a split in the join of my extractors  and a very large hole in the Y
connector.
I have narrowed down 2 brands..Pacemakers & lukey's

Anyone have any thoughts on these extractors in terms of build quality &
performance.

It will be mated up to a Lukey 3 inch system thats already on the car and I
am tossing up between leaving the 2.5 inch Cat or going a 3 inch CAT

Any thoughts/suggestions appreciated.

Cool, you won't be able to hear the engine and transmission noise over
the gunshot and clanging of swords....good move I'd say.

f.ck the dogalytic converters, biggest piece of sh.t man has ever created.
they rob power and cost you money in fuel.

have flanges installed on both sides of the cats for easy removal, and have
short pieces of pipe with flanges on both sides made up at the same time, so
you can simply swap them over when necessary. people who say the difference
is minimal are full of sh.t, try it yourself and you will never look back.

have you looked at Di Filippo headers and exhausts. IMO they make better
stuff than pacemakers & lukeys.

go the pacemakers for sure thats i what i had on the old vn. also if you
game ust knock out the centre of the cat  the laws says its illegal to
modify it by welding tubes or removing it but if it was to fall apart which
they all the time its no illegal if you want to interpret the law that way.
but it is the best and cheapest mod to do

I'd be willing to bet that it's not considered roadworthy without a
'properly working catalytic converter' - which one that had fallen apart
internally wouldn't be.  Not that anyone would ever check (not until annual
emissions testing arrives, anyway).
