Advance Headers High-Performance Mild Steel Exhaust Extractors for HOLDEN Commodore VB to VK 253 & 308 V8 Engines
The Advance Headers Performance Exhaust Extractors (A313D) are precision-engineered for first-generation classic Holden Commodore platforms running the legendary 4.2-Litre 253ci and 5.0-Litre 308ci iron-block V8 engines. Specifically developed to solve common clearance headaches in early early-girl Commodore engine bays, this heavy-duty tubular header set is custom-profiled to clear a compact Bosch high-torque starter motor. By replacing highly restrictive factory cast iron manifolds, this system maximizes exhaust gas scavenging velocity, lowers backpressure, and unleashes that iconic deep, crisp classic Aussie V8 rumble.
PRODUCT CONTENTS:
- 1 x Heavy-Duty Mild Steel Performance Exhaust Extractor Header Set (Left & Right Bank Assembly)
Key Features:
- Tuned mandrel-bent primary piping pathways ensure completely uniform internal flow geometry, optimizing gas velocity and removing heavy factory cast restrictions
- Engineered with a specific clearance track to accommodate a Bosch high-torque reduction starter motor safely without melting wiring or requiring dangerous heat shielding tricks
- Substantially optimizes low-to-mid range torque acceleration—giving modified street cruisers, tough muscle builds, and street/strip restorations a notable performance boost
- Heavy-duty mild steel construction structurally built to handle intense under-bonnet V8 thermal transitions and demanding operational 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 exhaust leaks

⚠️ Crucial Starter Motor & Chassis Fitment Warnings:
1. Starter Motor Requirement: This product (Part No. A313D) has primary tube routing altered specifically to tuck around smaller, aftermarket Bosch-style high-torque mini starters. It may not clear bulky, full-size original factory Delco-Remy or early Lucas starter motors due to tight layout boundaries near the engine block block paths.
2. Chassis Limitations: Mapped explicitly for the early generation VB, VC, VH, VK Commodore body shell parameters. It will not slide down correctly into later VL, VN, or VP engine configurations due to K-frame and steering rack routing variations.
Please Note: Professional installation by an exhaust specialist or qualified classic automotive mechanic is highly recommended to guarantee proper system alignment and a perfect leak-free seal.
