Description

Advance Headers High-Performance Stainless Steel Exhaust Extractors for HOLDEN Commodore VS 3.8L Ecotec V6

The Advance Headers Premium Stainless Steel Performance Exhaust Extractors (A228SS) are precision-engineered for the famous 3.8-Litre Ecotec V6 engine introduced in the Holden Commodore VS series. Upgraded to a premium high-grade stainless steel construction, this heavy-duty tubular header replacement addresses the warping and rust issues common to classic cast setups, lowering power-robbing backpressure to optimize exhaust gas velocity and deliver crisper engine response.

PRODUCT CONTENTS:

  • 1 x Premium Stainless Steel Performance Exhaust Extractor Header Set (Left & Right Bank Assembly)

Key Features:

  • Premium stainless steel tubular construction offers exceptional resistance to corrosion, high thermal breakdown, and engine bay oxidation
  • Tuned mandrel-bent primary piping pathways ensure completely uniform gas flow routing, eliminating the heavy restrictions found in original factory manifolds
  • Substantially optimizes overall exhaust gas scavenging velocity, delivering sharper throttle response and noticeable low-to-mid range torque gains
  • Thick, precision laser-cut cylinder head flanges maintain flush mating boundaries to guard permanently against warping and exhaust gas leaks
  • 100% direct bolt-on replacement path engineered to clear standard steering and automatic engine bay configurations cleanly

⚠️ Crucial Steering Rack & Transmission Compatibility Warnings:
1. Steering Rack Restriction: This product (Part No. A228SS) is engineered strictly to clear standard power steering setups. Because of the specialized housing dimensions required by electronic variable-effort steering systems, this header assembly will NOT fit models equipped with a Variable Speed Steering Rack (variatronic steering setups found on select premium Calais or Statesman variants).
2. Manual Transmission Fitment: This base model is designed for automatic transmission configurations and will NOT fit clutch cable manual models due to mechanical space constraints. If your vehicle uses a hydraulic manual transmission layout, you must use part number A228M (Mild Steel) instead to guarantee clear routing lines around the slave cylinder.

Please Note: Professional installation by an exhaust specialist or qualified automotive mechanic is highly recommended to guarantee proper system alignment and a perfect leak-free seal.
