Description

Advance Headers High-Performance Mild Steel Exhaust Extractors for Datsun 240Z, 260Z & Nissan 280ZX L-Series Engines

The Advance Headers Performance Exhaust Extractors (A281) are precision-engineered for the legendary Z-car heritage lineup powered by Nissan's iconic L-Series SOHC inline 6-cylinder petrol engines. Mapped to service classic carburetted 2.4-Litre L24 and 2.6-Litre L26 blocks alongside later fuel-injected (EFI) 2.8-Litre L28E platforms, this heavy-duty tubular header upgrade replaces your restrictive factory cast iron manifold to maximize exhaust scavenging velocity, lower engine backpressure, and unleash that crisp, metallic classic sports car growl.

PRODUCT CONTENTS:

  • 1 x Heavy-Duty Mild Steel Performance Exhaust Extractor Header Assembly (Standard Finish)

Key Features:

  • Tuned mandrel-bent primary piping pathways maintain uniform internal diameters, optimizing cylinder gas velocity and high-RPM breathing capacity
  • Substantially optimizes mid-to-high range power curves and throttle response—delivering crisp performance gains perfect for street cruisers, track day builds, and Z-car restorations
  • Heavy-duty mild steel construction structurally built to handle high thermal load transitions and demanding sports car track configurations 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
  • Engineered with versatile clearing geometry designed to navigate standard sports car steering columns, low engine bay profiles, and tight engine mount configurations cleanly

⚠️ Crucial Manifold & Intake Orientation Fitment Warning:
This product (Part No. A281) is configured explicitly for standard rear-wheel-drive L-series layouts matching factory specification patterns. Because the L-series engine shares a single-side intake and exhaust configuration on the cylinder head, please verify clearances if utilizing aftermarket triple-carburettor linkages or oversized modern EFI intake manifolds. It will not fit twin-cam or RB-series engine conversions safely.

Please Note: Professional installation by an exhaust specialist or qualified classic sports car mechanic is highly recommended to guarantee proper system mapping and a perfect leak-free seal.
