Hey guys, im new to 4x4 and after years of wanting a sierra i finally got a stock 1991 sierra. Was just wondering though i wanted to modify it a little and probably start with an exhaust. I saw two different types of extractors on ebay one for a coily and for a leafy. Are these two types interchangeable on both models considering they both have the same engine or not? Cheers guys

The difference is the coily model extractors need to clear the tie-rod which sits above the diff behind the axle - Unlike a leafy where the tie-rod is in front of the diff.

I cant see why they wouldnt be interchangeable in any leafy chassis.

On the other hand, one of my Coilies had a dent in 1 of the extractor pipes by being a set for a leafy. If it were a 1.6 or had 1/2" of bumpstop spacing it wouldn't have been a problem.

I reckon if a manufacturer knew their Suzuki's they could just make 1 model to suit both based on the one to suit a coily.

Well hopefully the coily ones fit because i got a little excited when I saw them and didn't read the coily part lol. On a plus side though the coily one's seem to look a little bit less restricted because it doesn't have the 90° bend at the bottom. Guess time will tell because they have alreaady been sent. Cheers

Huh? what do you mean no 90˚ bend at the bottom? if the bend isn't at the extractor, it's going to need to be on the downpipe.

From the picture on ebay the leafy ones go straight down and bend 90° . Where the coily ones sort of bend 45° then again 45° at the bottom. If that makes sense.
