Advance Headers High-Performance Mild Steel Exhaust Extractors for HOLDEN Commodore VT Series I 5.0L Fuel-Injected V8 Engines
The Advance Headers Performance Exhaust Extractors (A314/A315 generation) are precision-engineered for the ultimate factory evolution of the Australian Holden 5.0-Litre (304 cubic inch) fuel-injected V8 engine. Mapped specifically to accommodate the wide, modern structural parameters of the VT Series I engine bay, this heavy-duty tubular header upgrade completely replaces the highly restrictive factory cast iron log manifolds to drop power-robbing backpressure, maximize exhaust gas scavenging velocity, and unleash a deep, crisp V8 note.
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 map perfectly to the high-port symmetrical Holden EFI cylinder heads, ensuring completely uniform gas flow routing and maximizing engine efficiency
- Substantially optimizes low-to-mid range torque delivery and throttle response—providing critical extra acceleration grunt for modified street builds and daily high-performance driving
- Heavy-duty mild steel construction structurally built to handle intense under-hood thermal transitions and demanding V8 operational heat cycles safely
- Thick, precision laser-cut cylinder head flanges maintain a flat, ultra-stable mating footprint to permanently guard against face distortion and high-pressure exhaust leaks
- Direct bolt-on replacement path engineered specifically to route cleanly down past the updated VT K-frame profiles, automatic transmission casings, and steering gear layouts cleanly

⚠️ Crucial Engine Family Fitment Warning:
This product (Part No. A315) is configured explicitly for the traditional Australian 5.0L Holden V8 iron block engine utilized strictly in the VT Series I production run between 1997 and 1999. It will NOT fit later VT Series II models or subsequent generations, as Holden transitioned completely to the all-aluminum General Motors 5.7L Gen III LS1 V8 engine, which features completely disparate port spacings and bolt track patterns.
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.
