Advance Headers High-Performance Mild Steel Exhaust Extractors for Nissan & Holden 1.6L / 1.8L FWD Families
The Advance Headers Performance Exhaust Extractors (A26) are precision-engineered for the popular front-wheel-drive small cars produced during the shared global platform partnership between Nissan and Holden in the late 1980s. Covering the Nissan Pulsar (N13 series) alongside the Holden Astra (LC and LD series) equipped with 1.6-Litre and 1.8-Litre OHC 4-cylinder engines, this heavy-duty tubular header upgrade replaces your highly restrictive factory cast-iron manifold to maximize exhaust scavenging velocity, lower engine backpressure, and deliver punchier throttle response.
PRODUCT CONTENTS:
- 1 x Heavy-Duty Mild Steel Performance Exhaust Extractor Header Assembly (Standard Finish)
Key Features:
- Tuned mandrel-bent primary piping pathways ensure completely uniform gas flow routing, eliminating the restrictive flow bottlenecks found in original cast manifolds
- Substantially optimizes overall exhaust velocity, delivering sharper throttle response and noticeable low-to-mid range torque gains—perfect for daily driving and classic hatchback restorations
- Heavy-duty mild steel construction structurally built to handle severe thermal expansions and demanding under-hood front-wheel-drive heat cycles safely
- Thick, precision laser-cut cylinder head flanges maintain flush mating boundaries to guard permanently against face distortion and exhaust gas leaks
- 100% direct bolt-on replacement path engineered specifically to clear FWD transaxle mounts, radiators, and lower engine bay constraints cleanly

⚠️ Crucial Model Application & Variant Fitment Note:
This product (Part No. A26) is configured explicitly for the front-wheel-drive 1.6L and 1.8L naturally aspirated SOHC/DOHC powertrains utilized throughout the shared platform project era (1986–1991). It will not align properly with older rear-wheel-drive models or later multi-valve layouts safely. Please verify your exact engine family type and chassis build data plate details prior to ordering.
Please Note: Professional installation by an exhaust specialist or qualified classic automotive mechanic is highly recommended to guarantee proper system alignment and a perfect leak-free seal.
