The MPI Automotive FX-299MDF is a direct-fit extractor listed to fit the Holden Commodore VN to VS with the 5.0L V8, set up for manual cars. It includes the Y-pipe.

What does this extractor cover?

This is the header section for the 5.0L V8 Commodore from VN through VS, built specifically for the manual gearbox. The 'MDF' in the part code reflects that — manual, direct-fit. Unlike some extractors that finish at the collector, the FX-299MDF includes the Y-pipe that merges the two banks, so it covers from the heads back to where it joins the rest of the system. Being direct-fit, it's shaped for the factory mounting points.

What is a direct-fit extractor and what does it change?

A direct-fit extractor swaps the cast factory manifolds for tubular headers shaped to land on the standard mounting points without custom fabrication. On a V8 Commodore each bank gets its own extractor, then the included Y-pipe brings them together. The manual-specific design matters because gearbox and bellhousing geometry differs from the auto, so a header that fits a manual car won't necessarily clear an auto. The trade-off with tubular steel is exposure — it sits closer in the bay than cast iron, so clearances are checked at fitting.

Will it suit my VN-VS Commodore?

It's listed to fit the Holden Commodore VN, VP, VR and VS with the 5.0L V8 in manual form. If your car is an auto, this isn't the right part — the manual Y-pipe geometry differs. Years aren't published beyond the body codes, so send us your build and we'll confirm the FX-299MDF suits it before ordering. Fitment data can be imperfect, so the listing is 'listed to fit', not guaranteed.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits Commodore extractors like the FX-299MDF in-house across the Illawarra. We get the car on the hoist, fit each bank's header, run the included Y-pipe, and check it all clears the manual driveline before piping into your existing system. The RRP is listed at $1299.08. We confirm the exact build with you first.
