The MPI Automotive FX-297DF is a direct-fit extractor listed to fit the Holden Commodore VL with the 5.0L V8 on unleaded fuel. It replaces the cast factory manifolds with tubular headers shaped to bolt into the standard location.
What does this extractor cover?
This is the header section for the VL Commodore 5.0L V8 running unleaded. The 'DF' in the part code marks it as direct-fit — shaped to land on the factory mounting points without custom fabrication. It covers the manifold replacement on each bank; it's the extractor, not the full system. The unleaded note matters because it ties the part to the specific 5.0L V8 setup in the VL rather than an earlier or leaded engine.
What is a direct-fit extractor and what does it change?
A direct-fit extractor swaps the cast factory manifold for tubular primaries that merge downstream, while keeping the standard mounting geometry so it bolts in where the original sat. Separating each cylinder's runner before they merge is where extractors free up flow compared with a shared cast log. The trade-off is that tubular steel sits more exposed in the engine bay than cast iron, so fit and clearance are confirmed at fitting rather than assumed.
Will it suit my VL Commodore?
It's listed to fit the Holden Commodore VL with the 5.0L V8 on unleaded. Years aren't published beyond the VL body code, so send us your build and we'll confirm the FX-297DF matches your engine setup before ordering. Because feed data can be imperfect, we treat the listing as 'listed to fit', not a guarantee.
What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?
Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits VL Commodore extractors like the FX-297DF in-house across the Illawarra. We get the car on the hoist, fit each bank's header, check it clears the steering and chassis, and pipe it into your existing system. The RRP is listed at $1592.25, and as a direct-fit part it's a more straightforward job — but we confirm the build with you first.
Stocked and fitted by Oak Flats Muffler Men, the Illawarra exhaust and 4x4 specialist in Oak Flats, NSW.
