Is this a wise thing to do?
Is the 2.25 exhaust pipe gonna make much difference performance wise? if i stick with the stock exhaust just change the extractors...am i still gonna get that power gain?
No worries just changing the extractors. You will see a nice power increase with a good set. The exhaust will help a little in concert with the extractors, but in general, exhausts do little for our cars normally aspirated.

I ran extractors in my P10 with stock exhaust before installing the turbo. In fact, I'm still running the stock exhaust. I just haven't gotten aroundn to fabricating a new exhaust yet.
