Specifically engineered to extract maximum efficiency from the classic Holden 5.0L (304ci) V8 engine, this high-flow collector setup is precision-molded to fit perfectly within the engine bay clearance paths, steering rack lines, and independent front chassis layouts of early VT Commodore configurations. By splitting the exhaust pulses into paired secondary pipes (Tri-Y layout), these headers optimize exhaust gas velocity and scavenging performance to completely remove power-robbing backpressure right out of the cylinder head. As Australia’s premium exhaust innovator, Pacemaker manufactures these headers from heavy-duty steel to deliver exceptional durability and temperature control under high thermal stress, providing an aggressive performance bark on throttle and making it a massive upgrade over restrictive factory cast manifolds. \u003cem style=\"color: #222222 !important;\"\u003eNote: Fits Holden VT Series 1 models (1997–1999) equipped with the 5.0L Holden V8 engine configuration;
