The MPI Automotive FX-180HPC-S is a ceramic-coated, interference-design extractor set listed to fit the Ford Falcon XR, XT and XW with the 289 or 302 Windsor V8. RRP is $1428.28.

What does an extractor set do, and what is interference design?

Extractors, also called headers, replace the cast factory exhaust manifold with individual tubed runners — one per cylinder — that merge into a collector. On a small-block V8 like the 289 or 302 Windsor, that lets each cylinder's exhaust pulse leave more freely than a shared cast manifold. "Interference" here describes how the runners are routed and packaged to fit a tight engine bay across the early Falcons this set covers.

What's the ceramic-coated silver finish for?

This set carries a silver ceramic coating — the "HPC-S" in the part number. Ceramic coating is applied to extractors mainly to manage surface heat and resist corrosion compared with bare steel. MPI hasn't published the tube diameter or the underlying material, so the coating is the published detail here, not the dimensions; we confirm those against the actual part before fitting rather than quote figures we don't hold.

Will it suit my Falcon?

It's listed to fit the Ford Falcon XR, XT and XW with the 289 or 302 Windsor V8. Those three early series and the small-block Windsor engine are the deciding details. Listing data on parts this age can be imperfect, so send us your exact model, engine and build and we'll confirm the FX-180HPC-S is the right set before ordering.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits ceramic-coated extractor sets like this in our Illawarra workshop. We check the FX-180HPC-S on the hoist, confirm the runners clear the chassis and steering, match the collector to your pipework, sort the gaskets, then book the bay. Any spec MPI hasn't published, like tube diameter, is what that check settles before we order at the $1428.28 RRP.

What's the difference between this and the FX-180?
The FX-180HPC-S carries a silver ceramic coating; the plain FX-180 is the same interference-design extractor set for the same early Falcons without that coating.
How much is it?
The RRP is $1428.28. We'll confirm the final figure once we've matched the FX-180HPC-S to your build at the Oak Flats workshop.
