Highly versatile across classic Aussie platforms, this header set fits standard Red Motor configurations across EH to HJ generations, Torana LC-LX series, and Bedford commercial vans. Additionally, it serves as the definitive engine-swap header path for mounting a later Red Motor cleanly into early FX, FJ, FE, FC, FB, EK, and EJ structural chassis bays, completely replacing restrictive factory cast log manifolds to optimize flow and sound.\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 pathways maintain uniform internal geometry, optimizing gas velocity and delivering that crisp, distinctive classic Aussie 6-cylinder exhaust note\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubstantially optimizes low-to-mid range torque delivery and tractability—perfect for street cruisers, heavy commercial work vans, and period-correct custom modifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty mild steel construction structurally built to handle severe classic car engine bay thermal loads and demanding operational heat cycles safely\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThick, precision laser-cut cylinder head flanges maintain flush mating boundaries to guard permanently against face distortion and exhaust gas leaks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngineered with specific multi-fit clearance channels to steer cleanly past steering boxes, manual clutch mechanisms, and body firewalls on retrofitted custom builds\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\"\u003eA85\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\"\u003eHolden 6-Cylinder Red Motor Only (149ci up to 202ci Petrol)\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\"\u003e1.5 Hours\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"text-gray-500 font-semibold mr-1\"\u003eWelding Required:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"text-gray-700\"\u003eNo (Direct Bolt-On Configuration)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e⚠️ Crucial Transmission Fitment \u0026amp; Compatibility Warnings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1. \u003cstrong\u003eEarly Automatic Exclusions:\u003c\/strong\u003e This extractor assembly (Part No. \u003cstrong\u003eA85\u003c\/strong\u003e) will \u003cstrong\u003eNOT fit vehicles running an original Hydromatic or early 2-speed GM Powerglide automatic transmission\u003c\/strong\u003e due to physical interference constraints with the wide casing steps of those specific vintage gearboxes.\u003cbr\u003e2. \u003cstrong\u003eEngine Family Limit:\u003c\/strong\u003e This kit is tailored explicitly for the cylinder head port shape of the Holden \u003cstrong\u003eRed Motor\u003c\/strong\u003e.
