The FX-201GEN is a mandrel-bent extractor set listed to fit the Ford Falcon AU 5.0L V8. It runs 1 1/2in primaries into 2 1/2in outlets, supplied without a ceramic coating.

What does this header set cover?

This replaces the cast factory manifolds on the AU Falcon's 5.0L V8 with mandrel-bent tubes. It runs 1 1/2in primaries feeding 2 1/2in outlets. This is the plain version of the set, without the ceramic coating found on the FX-201GENHPC-S, and the smaller bore distinguishes it from the larger FX-201.

What does a mandrel-bent extractor set change?

Mandrel bending keeps each tube's internal diameter consistent through its curves rather than crushing it, so the gas path stays clean. The 1 1/2in primaries and 2 1/2in outlets are smaller than some sets in the range, which shifts where the engine feels strongest, generally favouring lower- and mid-range response. It changes how the engine breathes and sounds rather than adding any published figure, and the system behind it still does its job. No power or sound numbers are published.

Will it suit my AU Falcon V8?

It's listed to fit the Ford Falcon AU 5.0L V8. The AU came in more than one series, so confirm your exact build and your existing 2 1/2in pipework with the workshop before ordering.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men fits mandrel-bent V8 sets like this and checks the manifold flanges, the 1 1/2in primaries, and the join into your existing 2 1/2in system. The MPI Automotive RRP is listed at $1,411.36; talk to us across the Illawarra and we'll confirm availability and book a fitting.

Common questions

Is the FX-201GEN coated?
No — this is the uncoated set. The ceramic-coated version is the FX-201GENHPC-S. Both run 1 1/2in primaries into 2 1/2in outlets on the AU 5.0L V8.
What size are the outlets?
The listing specifies 1 1/2in primaries into 2 1/2in outlets. Confirm your existing pipework with the workshop.
