I live in Perth, Australia. My friend has purchased a set of 36hp extractors. Can't find any information on them but they look pretty good. We are hoping they are a local (Australian) build.

Anyone seen them before?

Wow! A real 4-2-1 header for VW's. How cool is that? Can't tell you anything about those ones.

It kind of looks like the "Extractor" system Mickey Thompson made in the 60's , according to the "How to Hot Rod your VW" book Holley took over manufacture at one point...

from what I have heard they also made a 40hp set (I never saw them in person, but i found a set for sale then couldn't convince the guy to box them up and post them Sad ) plus a friends parents, years ago, had a 1600 with a 4-2-1 exhaust that I think may have been made by them too.

I believe this is a "baja" version of the same extractor (Mickey Thompson/Holley). It came to me with a standard "quiet muffler" No "Sonic" logo, though.
