The MPI Automotive FX-296A is a fast-fit extractor listed to fit the Holden Commodore VB, VC, VH and VK with the 253 or 308 red-motor V8. It replaces the cast factory manifolds with tubular headers for the early Commodore range.
What does this extractor cover?
This is the header section for the early Commodore V8 — the red-motor 253 and 308 fitted to VB through VK. It's described as a fast-fit extractor, meaning it's designed to go in without the extra fabrication a custom header needs. It covers the manifold replacement on each bank; it's the extractor, not the full system. The 'red motor' note ties it to that family of Holden V8, distinguishing it from the later blue and black engines.
What is an extractor and what does it change?
An extractor (header) is the first part off the exhaust ports. The factory cast manifold is compact and cheap but merges the runners early, leaving exhaust gas working against itself. A tubular extractor gives each cylinder its own primary before they collect, which is where the flow improvement over the cast unit sits on a V8 like the 253 or 308. The trade-off is that tubular steel is more exposed in the bay, so clearance and fit are checked when the headers go on.
Will it suit my early Commodore?
It's listed to fit the Holden Commodore VB, VC, VH and VK with the 253 or 308 red-motor V8. Years aren't published beyond those body codes, so send us your build and we'll confirm the FX-296A matches the engine you're running 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 early Commodore extractors like the FX-296A across the Illawarra.
