The MPI Automotive FX-182 is an interference-design extractor set listed to fit the Ford Falcon XA, XB, XC, XD and XE with the 302 or 351 2V Cleveland V8, 1972 to 1984. RRP is $1017.41.

What does interference design mean here?

Interference describes how the primary runners are routed and packaged to clear a tight engine bay across the five Falcon series this set covers — the tubes are shaped to work around steering, chassis and accessory components rather than taking the straightest path. It is a fitment-driven design choice for the XA-to-XE platform, which is why this exact range and the 2V Cleveland engine are the deciding details for the set.

What does an extractor set change on the Cleveland V8?

Extractors, also called headers, replace the cast factory exhaust manifold with individual tubular runners — one per cylinder — that merge into a collector. On a 302 or 351 2V Cleveland V8 that lets each cylinder's exhaust pulse leave more freely than a shared cast manifold allows. MPI has not published the tube diameter or wall material for this set, so we confirm those against the actual part rather than quote figures we do not hold.

Will it suit my Falcon?

It is listed to fit the Ford Falcon XA, XB, XC, XD and XE with the 302 or 351 2V Cleveland V8, 1972 to 1984. Those five series and the 2V Cleveland engine are the constraint. Listing data on parts this age can be imperfect, so send us your exact model, engine and build and we will confirm the FX-182 is the right set before ordering.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits extractor sets like this in our Illawarra workshop. We check the FX-182 on the hoist, confirm the runners clear the chassis and steering for your particular Falcon, match the collector to your pipework, sort the gaskets, then book the bay. Any spec MPI has not published is what that check settles before we order at the $1017.41 RRP.
