The MPI Automotive FX-354 is a set of extractors listed to fit the Mazda T3500 four-cylinder diesel with the rod gear change. It replaces the factory exhaust manifold at the head with a tubular extractor design.

What's an extractor and what does it do?

An extractor, or header, replaces the cast manifold bolted to the cylinder head with a tubular set, giving each port its own runner before they merge — the aim being to reduce the back-pressure the engine works against as it clears spent gas. It's the first component in the exhaust, sitting right at the engine, with everything else behind it. On a four-cylinder diesel that's a single tubular set. It's a head-end breathing change only; it doesn't alter the engine's capacity or fuelling.

Why does the 'rod gear change' note matter?

The listing specifies the rod-gear-change T3500, which sounds like a gearbox detail but is really about clearance: the gear-shift linkage runs near the exhaust on this truck, so the rod-change version is called out to make sure the extractors clear it. That's why MPI separates this set rather than listing one for every T3500. Tube diameter, material and finish aren't published by the supplier here, so we'd confirm those with MPI Automotive at order time.

Will it suit my T3500?

It's listed to fit the Mazda T3500 four-cylinder diesel with the rod gear change. The rod-change detail and the four-cylinder diesel engine are the lines that pin this set down, so confirm your truck's gear-change type and engine with us before ordering. Fitment is listed-to-fit, not guaranteed, because feed data can be imperfect and the actual truck settles the linkage clearance.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits T3500 extractor sets in-house across the Illawarra. The job means unbolting the old manifold from the head, sealing the new set with fresh gaskets and confirming it clears the gear-change linkage and ties cleanly into the existing pipework. Send us your truck's details and we'll verify the FX-354 before booking the bay.
