The MPI Automotive EMG281 is a single DSF header gasket with a fire ring, listed for the Holden Commodore VT, VY, VZ, VE and VF with the LS engine in 5.7, 6.0 and 6.2L. It's the individual gasket behind the EMG281 trade packs, listed at $33.28.

What is the EMG281?

The EMG281 is one DSF header gasket fitted with a fire ring — the sealing gasket that sits between the LS cylinder head and the header (extractor) flange on the V8 Commodore. It's the single-unit version of the part also offered in ten, twenty and fifty packs. The listing covers the gasket on its own; bolts and headers aren't included.

What does the fire ring add?

A header gasket seals the exhaust port so gases pass into the headers rather than leaking at the flange. The fire ring on this gasket is a reinforced sealing element around the port, designed to hold up to the heat and pressure at the joint. The gasket is still a consumable — heat-cycled and crushed to seal — so it's renewed whenever the headers come off, and fitting a fresh EMG281 on reassembly is what keeps the joint sealed cleanly.

Will it suit my Holden Commodore?

It's listed for the Holden Commodore VT, VY, VZ, VE and VF with the LS engine in 5.7, 6.0 and 6.2L. Because head and port details vary across that range, confirm your exact engine and header with the workshop before ordering so the gasket matches the flange it seals.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits exhaust sealing parts across the Illawarra. The EMG281 is renewed as part of a header fit or head reseal on the LS Commodore rather than on its own, so tell us the job and we'll confirm it's the right gasket and handle the work.

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