Can anyone out there tell me whether the current extractors will fit the new 380GT or if anyone is making them.

As in magna extractors fit onto the 380?
I highly doubt it.

No as the 380 has 4 oxy sensors.

Using the 4 oxygen sensors, the engine management will detect anything out of the ordinary. If the custom extractors are not made perfectly, i hear the engine/transmission will go into limp mode. Stupid california emissions control!! Anyways, stand alone engine management, then mod all you like lol

Exactly - you can't use current extractors for two reasons

(A) The height of the engine block is taller than the 3.5 engine - every design including our own will not clear the sump pan

(B) There is the problem of 3 cat covnerters and 4 o2 sensors.

We are designing a set of headers now but be around another 6 - 8 weeks before there finalised for the car. Basically be an extension of our race design with a new part number for clearance, and then detailed work on the o2 sensors to ensure no check engine lights.

This is a case of our experience in dealing with the USA vehicles with this same setup will come in very handy.
