Advance Headers High-Performance Mild Steel Exhaust Extractors for NISSAN Patrol MQ 2.8L L28 Petrol Engines
The Advance Headers Performance Exhaust Extractors (A280) are precision-engineered for the classic Nissan Patrol MQ (160 Series) platforms powered by the robust 2.8-Litre carburetted inline 6-cylinder petrol engine (L28). Tailored to maximize breathing efficiency on this legendary overhead-cam vintage platform, this heavy-duty tubular header upgrade replaces your highly restrictive factory cast iron log manifold. It is designed to optimize exhaust gas scavenging velocity, reduce engine bay thermal load retention, and unlock vital low-to-mid range working torque.
PRODUCT CONTENTS:
- 1 x Heavy-Duty Mild Steel Performance Exhaust Extractor Header Assembly (Standard Finish)
Key Features:
- Tuned mandrel-bent primary piping pathways ensure completely uniform gas flow routing, eliminating the severe restrictions and hotspots found in original cast factory manifolds
- Substantially optimizes low-end torque delivery and mid-range pulling power—providing critical extra grunt for classic 4WD off-roading, heavy towing, and rural touring
- Heavy-duty mild steel construction structurally built to handle intense thermal load transitions and withstand severe outback corrugated track vibrations safely
- Thick, precision laser-cut cylinder head flanges maintain flush mating boundaries to guard permanently against face warping and high-pressure exhaust gas leaks
- 100% direct bolt-on replacement path engineered specifically to clear standard steering boxes, manual clutch mechanisms, and front 4WD driveshaft sections cleanly

⚠️ Crucial Engine Family Fitment Warning:
This product (Part No. A280) is configured explicitly for the 2.8L L28 single overhead cam (SOHC) petrol engine block architecture. It will not fit later GQ Patrol engine layouts (such as the RB30 3.0L petrol or TB42 4.2L blocks) or diesel MQ models (SD33) due to entirely different exhaust port configurations, bolt spacing, and chassis drop paths. Please verify your vehicle's engine details on the under-hood build metadata plate prior to ordering.
Please Note: Professional installation by an exhaust specialist or qualified classic 4WD mechanic is highly recommended to guarantee proper system alignment and a perfect leak-free seal.
