Covering the VT, VX, VY (Series 1 Only) models alongside the WH and WK luxury wheelbases, this heavy-duty tubular header upgrade replaces your highly restrictive factory cast iron log manifolds to maximize exhaust scavenging velocity, lower engine backpressure, and unlock responsive performance torque.

⚠️ Crucial VY Series Fitment Compatibility Note:
Please be advised that this extractor kit (Part No. A229) fits the VY Commodore range strictly for Series 1 variants only. It will not align properly with VY Series 2 configurations due to differences in the factory exhaust catalyst positioning and under-car system mapping routes. Please verify your vehicle's build date sequence and series profile prior to placing an order.
Please Note: Professional installation by an exhaust specialist or qualified automotive mechanic is highly recommended to guarantee proper system alignment and a perfect gas-tight seal.
