Covering an extensive model run from the landmark VT Series II up to the final VZ lines—as well as luxury long-wheelbase Statesman\/Caprice WH to WL platforms and all-wheel-drive\/rear-wheel-drive Crewman models—this heavy-duty tubular system is tailored for General Motors 5.7-Litre Gen III LS1 and 6.0-Litre Gen IV LS2 V8 powerplants. By replacing restrictive factory log manifolds, this high-flow upgrade maximizes exhaust gas scavenging velocity, lowers under-hood heat cycles, and unleashes the iconic, deep bark of a performance LS V8.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-block\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-content pb-6\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #e60000; font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003ePRODUCT CONTENTS:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Heavy-Duty Mild Steel Performance Exhaust Extractor Header Set (Left \u0026amp; Right Bank Assembly)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuned mandrel-bent primary piping paths map perfectly to GM LS-Series oval exhaust ports, ensuring uniform velocity profiles and maximum cylinder evacuation efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubstantially optimizes mid-to-high range horsepower and delivers notable low-end torque gains—ideal for highway cruising, rapid acceleration, towing, and street\/strip performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty mild steel construction structurally built to withstand intense thermal expansion cycles and the extreme radiant heat typical of high-displacement engine bays safely\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThick, precision laser-cut cylinder head flanges maintain an ultra-stable mating boundary to permanently guard against warping and high-pressure gas leaks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngineered as a direct bolt-on solution designed to route cleanly past modern K-frames, rack-and-pinion steering setups, and transmission crossmembers cleanly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"flex flex-col space-y-2 text-xs\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"text-gray-500 font-semibold mr-1\"\u003eBrand:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"text-gray-700\"\u003eAdvance Headers\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"text-gray-500 font-semibold mr-1\"\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"text-gray-700\"\u003eA317\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"text-gray-500 font-semibold mr-1\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"text-gray-700\"\u003eMild Steel (Standard Finish)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"text-gray-500 font-semibold mr-1\"\u003eEngine Suitability:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"text-gray-700\"\u003eGeneral Motors 5.7L Gen III LS1 \u0026amp; 6.0L Gen IV LS2 V8 Petrol Only (Does not fit early Holden 304\/5.0L iron blocks)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"text-gray-500 font-semibold mr-1\"\u003eComponent Type:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"text-gray-700\"\u003ePerformance Exhaust Extractors \/ Headers\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"text-gray-500 font-semibold mr-1\"\u003eEstimated Fitting Time:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"text-gray-700\"\u003e2 Hours\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"text-gray-500 font-semibold mr-1\"\u003eWelding\/Modification Required:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"text-gray-700\"\u003eDependent on generation (See compliance warnings below)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e⚠️ Crucial Generation-Specific Compliance \u0026amp; Fitting Warnings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1. \u003cstrong\u003eVY Series II Onward Cat Converter Mandate:\u003c\/strong\u003e For all models from \u003cstrong\u003eVY Series II onward (including VZ series)\u003c\/strong\u003e, the factory exhaust layout requires these headers to be fitted alongside \u003cstrong\u003enew aftermarket high-flow catalytic converters\u003c\/strong\u003e to remain physically compatible and emissions-compliant.
