Tailored precisely to fit the highly robust, legendary Nissan 3.0-Litre (RB30E) Single Overhead Cam (SOHC) inline 6-cylinder engine housed within the R31 Skyline chassis—as well as the immensely popular Australian Holden VL Commodore platform applications—this premium upgrade is manufactured entirely from high-grade stainless steel for elite thermal resilience and total defense against atmospheric corrosion. By replacing the highly restrictive factory cast iron manifold structure, this mandrel-bent assembly drastically drops engine backpressure, smoothing exhaust scavenging lines to maximize low-to-mid range torque, sharpen throttle response, and deliver a clean, crisp, and pure RB engine note.\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 Premium Stainless Steel 6-Cylinder Performance RB30 SOHC Extractor Assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-grade stainless steel construction provides ultimate protection against extreme under-bonnet thermal cycles, environmental grime, and condensation rotting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision-mapped layout engineered to clear factory brake boosters, steering column universal joints, and inner strut towers seamlessly across both R31 and VL chassis formats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuned mandrel-bent primary piping pathways ensure completely uniform internal flow geometry, optimizing gas velocity and removing heavy factory casting bottlenecks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubstantially optimizes low-to-mid range working torque delivery—ideal for improving street throttle crispness, cruising efficiency, and sports-tuned profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThick, precision laser-cut cylinder head flanges maintain a flat, ultra-stable mating footprint to permanently guard against face distortion, thermal warping, and high-pressure gas leaks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngineered for an exceptionally fast workshop turnaround, featuring an estimated baseline installation window of just 1 hour\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\"\u003eA217SS\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\"\u003ePremium High-Grade Stainless Steel\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\"\u003eNissan 3.0L SOHC Inline 6-Cylinder Petrol Only (RB30E Naturally Aspirated 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\"\u003ePremium Performance 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 Hour\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 to Cylinder Head Face)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e⚠️ Crucial Induction Setup \u0026amp; Variant Alignment Warnings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1. \u003cstrong\u003eStrictly Naturally Aspirated (Non-Turbo) Models Only:\u003c\/strong\u003e This product (Part No. \u003cstrong\u003eA217SS\u003c\/strong\u003e) is designed and space-mapped exclusively for the naturally aspirated RB30E engine family.
