Advance Headers High-Performance Mild Steel Tri-Y Extractors for Holden Gen III LS1 5.7L & Gen IV LS2 6.0L V8 Platforms
The Advance Headers High-Performance Tri-Y Extractors (A317X) are the ultimate heavy-duty manifold upgrade for late-model Holden V8 muscle cars, utility workhorses, and luxury flagships. Specifically engineered with oversized pipelines to maximize gas flow velocity, this system is optimized for General Motors 5.7-Litre Gen III LS1 and 6.0-Litre Gen IV LS2/L76/L98 engine families. Covering VT Series II through VZ Commodore platforms, Monaro coupes, WH to WL Statesman sedans, and Crewman setups, this premium Tri-Y layout bridges the gap between everyday street driveability and aggressive track performance, unleashing maximum mid-range torque and an uncompromised, crisp LS V8 growl.
PRODUCT CONTENTS:
- 1 x Heavy-Duty Mild Steel High-Performance Left-Hand Tri-Y Header Assembly
- 1 x Heavy-Duty Mild Steel High-Performance Right-Hand Tri-Y Header Assembly
Key Features:
- Advanced High-Performance Tri-Y (4-2-1) configuration steps gas flow columns through specialized pairings to optimize exhaust scavenging velocity and torque punch
- Heavy-wall, mandrel-bent 1¾" primary pipelines transition smoothly into massive 2" secondary runners to eliminate backpressure restrictions entirely
- Substantially optimizes low-to-mid range torque delivery and throttle response—ideal for rapid street acceleration, heavy towing configurations, and dyno-tuned setups
- Heavy-duty mild steel construction structurally built to handle intense thermal expansion cycles and extreme under-hood operating heat cycles safely
- Thick, precision laser-cut cylinder head flanges maintain a flat, ultra-stable mating footprint to permanently guard against warping and high-pressure gas leaks

⚠️ Crucial Generation-Specific Compliance & Harness Warnings:
Due to the oversized primary and secondary runner paths shifting the downstream outlet boundaries, the following fitment requirements must be adhered to:
1. VZ Models Catalytic Converter Relocation: On all VZ series variants (both 5.7L and 6.0L), the factory catalytic converters must be physically cut, rotated, and re-positioned downstream to align correctly with the modified exit geometry of these high-performance collectors.
2. 6.0-Litre V8 Sensor Wire Extension: When retrofitting this kit onto 6.0-Litre LS2/L76/L98 engine variations, you MUST utilize 2 x Rear Oxygen Sensor Wiring Extensions (Part No. OSER) to bridge the factory loom safely down to the altered sensor bungs without stretching or damaging harness lines.
3. Engine Limitation Note: Mapped exclusively for aluminum GM Gen III/IV block structures. Will not align with early VT Series I iron-block Holden 5.0L/304 engines.
Please Note: Due to the custom catalytic adjustments and sensor extensions required on later model profiles, professional installation by an exhaust specialist or a qualified performance workshop is highly recommended to guarantee proper alignment and a perfect leak-free seal.
