The MPI Automotive FX-161 is an extractor set listed to fit the Ford Falcon XK, XL, XM and XP with the six-cylinder engine. It replaces the factory manifold on these first-generation Australian Falcons.

What is an extractor and what does it change?

An extractor, or header, swaps the cast factory exhaust manifold for separate tuned-length tubes that merge downstream. The aim is to reduce the back-pressure a compact cast manifold creates so each cylinder breathes out more freely. It is a bolt-on change at the cylinder head, common as a first exhaust step on an older inline six, and it does not change the mufflers or tailpipe that follow it.

Will it suit my early Falcon?

The FX-161 is listed to fit the Ford Falcon XK, XL, XM and XP with the six-cylinder engine — the original Australian Falcon line. Because these cars saw several updates across the run, confirm your exact model and engine with the workshop before ordering so the flange pattern matches your head.

Is it road legal?

An extractor sits ahead of the emissions hardware, so fitment can carry compliance implications depending on the vehicle and how it is presented for registration. We have no published compliance detail for this part, so confirm the requirements for your Falcon with the workshop before fitting.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men fits extractors like the FX-161 in-house across the Illawarra. We match the flange to your head, sort gaskets and clearance, and join it into the rest of the system. The recommended retail is $721.78. Send your Falcon's build and we'll confirm fit and book the bay.

Common questions

Will the FX-161 fit my XP Falcon?
It's listed for the XK, XL, XM and XP six-cylinder Falcons. Confirm your exact model and engine with the workshop first.
Does it include the rest of the exhaust?
No. It's an extractor set that replaces the factory manifold at the head; the muffler and tailpipe are separate.
Is there a coated version?
Yes — the FX-161HPC-S is the same extractor with a silver ceramic coating.
