The Redback DSF059 is a header gasket listed to fit the Holden Commodore and Calais from 1986 to 1988. It's the sealing gasket between the head and the header or manifold — a small but necessary part of a clean header fit, not an exhaust in itself.

What is a header gasket and why does it matter?

A header gasket seals the joint between the cylinder head and the header or exhaust manifold. It stops exhaust gas leaking at that face, which is important for a quiet, properly sealed system and for keeping the gas flowing the way the header intends. It's a consumable: it's typically renewed whenever the header comes off, so it's commonly bought alongside header work rather than on its own.

Will it suit my Commodore or Calais?

It's listed to fit the Holden Commodore and Calais from 1986 to 1988. Gasket fit depends on the exact head and header, so confirm your engine and what header you're running with the workshop before ordering.

Where does it sit in the job?

This gasket sits between the head and the header, so it's part of the manifold fitment rather than a road-compliance item. Whether the overall exhaust is road legal depends on the full system and emissions hardware on the car, which we can discuss for your build.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men fits this gasket as part of header work across the Illawarra — it goes on with the manifold so the joint seals correctly. The recommended retail is $43.99, which we confirm with you, along with availability, before ordering.

Stocked and fitted by Oak Flats Muffler Men, the Illawarra exhaust and 4x4 specialist in Oak Flats, NSW.

Common questions

Is the DSF059 an exhaust system?
No. It's a header gasket that seals the head-to-header joint on the 1986-1988 Holden Commodore and Calais.
Do I need a new gasket with new headers?
It's usually renewed whenever the header comes off. Confirm the right gasket for your engine and header with the workshop.
