If the wheels were Centerline they would be stamped Centerline around the lug holes. Centerline's would also would be more concaved in the center.

It's a good thing they are not Centerline's. Centerline's are for drag race or street use only. They will not take the abuse of off roading.

Are the extractors worth the cost for any improvement on power or economy?

I dont recall anyone here having wore these on their rig. Everyone seems to have daily drivers that havent gotten to the strictly offroad stage to remove their cats yet.
We need our Australian members to answer this one.
Id do it here in Fairbanks AK, if I had the money, cause we got rid of emissions testing here.

My cat collapsed three years ago so I punched it through with a bit of pipe. I don't know how it affects performance/economy

Got the new cat installed. It runs a bit quieter and does seem to run better at cold start. Ordered the extractors which should be here this week.

werd,
So if I understand you correctly; Your going with the extractors - 2nd Cat - Stock piping - Open muffler - Tip.
I am more than anxious to see pics and hear of your results.
Is your Australian Sporty same as my north american one?

There are some slight differences between the 2002 and the 1999. Eg the '99 has only one Catalytic Converter.
What would you like photos of? It's not going to look a lot different. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
