⚠️ Crucial Series Fitment Compatibility Warning:
Please be advised that this premium stainless steel extractor kit (Part No. A229YSS) 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.
