Category: Extractors and headers


The MPI Automotive FX-518HPC-S is a set of 4-into-1 tuned extractors listed to fit the Holden Commodore VE and VF V8s, built on 1-3/4in primaries and finished in a silver ceramic coating.
Extractors, also called headers, replace the cast factory exhaust manifold that bolts to the cylinder head. Where the original casting bunches the ports into a compact lump, extractors give each cylinder its own tuned primary tube before merging them — here in a 4-into-1 layout, so the four pipes on each bank gather into a single collector. The 1-3/4in figure in the listing is the primary tube diameter. The aim is to let each cylinder's exhaust pulse clear with less interference from its neighbours; the trade-off against the cast manifold is the cost of the part and the labour to fit it.
This is the ceramic-coated silver version. The ceramic coating is applied to the outside of the tubes, giving the silver appearance and helping the steel resist heat and corrosion. It is a finish option rather than a change to the tube geometry, which is why MPI Automotive lists this silver-coated FX-518HPC-S alongside other finishes of the same design. No power, weight or sound figures are published by the supplier.
It is listed to fit the Holden Commodore VE and VF across the V8 range, per the listing. The engine variant beyond "V8" is not specified in the record, and extractors have to clear the steering, crossmember and chassis on a given build. Confirm the exact build with the workshop before ordering so the head flange pattern and collector outlets line up.
Oak Flats Muffler Men fits extractors like these in-house across the Illawarra. Because the set bolts straight to the cylinder heads, we check the flanges seal cleanly on both banks, refit the oxygen sensors, and confirm clearances before signing it off. At an RRP of $1772.22 it is a considered upgrade; send your VE or VF build and we'll confirm the FX-518HPC-S is the right set.
