After using, and liking, the QP extractor exhausts for many years, I 
finally gave up on them about 10 years ago. I prefer the better fit 
and better sealing of the stock mufflers. It is a little known fact 
that the GOOD stock mufflers have internal pipes that make the 
exhaust ports equal length. I suspect that extractors will give a bit 
better power, but they don't seem to last as long, and I was always 
having to replace the donut seals on them as things loostened up.

I think so. The cyl head temp sensor should give the necessary 
feedback to correct this.
