The MPI Automotive FX-280MS is a mild-steel Tri-Y extractor listed to fit the Holden Commodore VT to VZ with the Gen III V8. It runs 1-5/8in primaries in a Tri-Y design.

What does this extractor cover?

This is the header section for the Gen III V8 Commodore from VT through VZ. It runs 1-5/8in primaries arranged as a Tri-Y, and it's made in mild steel — the 'MS' in the part code. It covers the manifold replacement on each bank; it's the extractor only, not a full system. The Tri-Y layout is what sets it apart from a straightforward 4-into-1.

What is a Tri-Y extractor and what does it change?

A Tri-Y extractor pairs the primaries into two secondaries per bank before they collect, rather than merging all four into one collector at once. That two-stage merge is chosen to favour a different part of the rev range than a single 4-into-1. Mild steel is the conventional, more affordable header material — it's coated or painted rather than corrosion-proof like stainless, so it suits a budget-minded build. On a Gen III V8, the 1-5/8in primary is matched to the engine. Tubular headers sit exposed in the bay, so clearance is checked when fitting.

Will it suit my VT-VZ Commodore?

It's listed to fit the Holden Commodore VT, VX, VU, VY and VZ with the Gen III V8. Years aren't published beyond those body codes, so send us your build and we'll confirm the FX-280MS matches the engine and your existing system before ordering. We treat the listing as 'listed to fit', not a guarantee, since feed data can be imperfect.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits Gen III extractors like the FX-280MS across the Illawarra. We get the car up, fit each bank's Tri-Y, check the 1-5/8in primaries clear the steering, and pipe it into the rest of your system. The RRP is listed at $1257.04, and we confirm the build with you first.
