Not to many if your driving a Type 3.

Theres only one header available but you can alter the length and design of the muffler..
if your willing to pay for it.

Gee I thought that you could buy any Type 1 Extractors and get a Good sports Exhaust Shop to alter it to sit under the back with the Muffler that you choose.
Not too quiet if you want the good performance. I like the throaty sound of a Free flowing 2 inch muffler. ( Glass Pack - oval outside ).

Its a TYPE 3 and the extractors are different to a Type 1

where do you get the thunderbird's and how much are they roughly?
how does a 2.5 inch system sound

type3kid, there was a set of t3 extractors in the trading post (syd) for $75

hope this helps.
btw, a 2.5" extractor would bite on anything less than a HUGE motor with monster valves etc.
if you are running a standard valved motor stick with something small - 1 3/8, 1 1/2. a big exhaust will kill you exhaust gas speed, prob stop the extractors from scavaging properly and basically make the bottom end soggy.

Hi I have just put a thunderbird extractor system on my T3. It came with a mufler all up $450 fitted. I only run a 1640 with a Eagle 110 cam, stock twin carbs runs real nice, sounds Ok to.
