Advance Headers High-Performance Mild Steel Exhaust Extractors for HOLDEN Commodore VY Series 2 & Statesman WK Series 2 3.8L Ecotec V6
The Advance Headers Performance Exhaust Extractors (A229Y) are precision-engineered specifically for the 3.8-Litre Ecotec V6 engine configurations unique to Holden's Series 2 update platforms. Meticulously designed for the VY Series 2 and Statesman WK Series 2 models, this heavy-duty tubular header upgrade accounts for the altered factory emission and pipe routing layouts, replacing highly restrictive factory cast iron log manifolds to maximize exhaust scavenging velocity, lower engine backpressure, and unlock responsive performance torque.

Key Features:
- Tuned mandrel-bent primary piping pathways ensure completely uniform gas flow routing, specifically configured to match up with Series 2 catalyst and underbody entry points
- Substantially optimizes overall exhaust gas scavenging velocity, delivering crisper throttle response and noticeable low-to-mid range torque gains
- Heavy-duty mild steel construction structurally built to handle severe thermal expansions and demanding street-performance heat cycles safely

⚠️ Crucial Series Fitment Compatibility Warning:
Please be advised that this extractor kit (Part No. A229Y) is configured strictly for Series 2 models of the VY and WK series. Due to running changes made by Holden regarding oxygen sensor locations and downstream catalytic converter plumbing tracks, this kit will not fit Series 1 variants. For early-generation VT, VX, VY Series 1 or WH configurations, please use alternative Part No. A229.
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.
