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.

⚠️ 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.
