The MPI Automotive FX-480DF is a direct-fit set of extractors listed to fit the Mitsubishi Pajero NK (1996–2000) with the 3.0L and 3.5L DOHC V6 oval-port engines. Extractors replace the factory cast manifolds, so this is a front-of-system part.

What does this set of extractors cover?

The FX-480DF is the extractor stage for the NK Pajero's V6 — tubular headers that bolt to the heads in place of the cast manifolds. They cover the run from the head flanges to where the rest of the exhaust joins; the cats, pipework and mufflers behind them are separate parts. The 'DF' designation marks it as a direct-fit set for these oval-port heads.

What are extractors and what do they change?

Extractors give each cylinder its own primary pipe before merging at the collector, instead of the short shared passages of a cast manifold. On the DOHC V6 the aim is freer breathing out of the heads. The oval-port note matters: these headers are matched to that head's port shape, so it is not interchangeable with other Pajero V6 versions. The honest trade-offs: tubular headers change the exhaust note, clearance is tight, and sensors and shields usually need carrying across. We publish no power or sound figures for the FX-480DF.

Will it suit my Mitsubishi Pajero?

The FX-480DF is listed to fit the NK Pajero (1996–2000) with the 3.0L and 3.5L DOHC oval-port V6; treat that as a starting point, not a guarantee, because catalogue feed data can be imperfect. Because it is matched to the oval-port heads, confirm your exact engine and head type with the workshop before ordering.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits extractors like the FX-480DF in-house across the Illawarra. It is head-end labour on a tight V6 bay: freeing the original manifolds, transferring sensors and shields, and checking clearance and gasket seal at both heads. It carries a recommended retail price of $840.94, supplied by MPI Automotive; if it is not on the shelf we order it in.

Stocked and fitted by Oak Flats Muffler Men, the Illawarra exhaust and 4x4 specialist in Oak Flats, NSW.

Common questions

What does the oval-port note mean?
These extractors are matched to the oval-port version of the DOHC V6 head, so they are not interchangeable with other Pajero V6 head types. Confirm your engine with the workshop first.
Will it fit my NK Pajero?
It's listed for the NK Pajero (1996–2000) with the 3.0L and 3.5L DOHC V6. Catalogue data can vary by build, so confirm your variant with the workshop.
Are the cats included?
No — the FX-480DF is the extractor stage only. The cats, pipework and mufflers behind it are separate parts.
