Default Possible fuel performance with Extractors??? Fact or Fiction?

The title says it all?

Apart from the performance increase, would extractors provide better fuel economy as well?? (depending on how hard you drive the car obviously)

Thoughts again?

9 times out of 10 this should be the case yes - obviously depending what sort of system you go for.

They say there is.. but like any car fitted with Extractors, 9/10 you're likely to drive it harder so.. in reality its the same.
