This Exhaust Systems Australia 1-3/4in tuned, mandrel-bent header set (use DSF138 x 2 gasket) is listed to fit the Holden Commodore VE and VF V8, including SS, Calais and GTS variants. Sized at 4in through the kit, it replaces the factory exhaust manifolds at the engine on the late-model V8 Commodore.

What are tuned headers and where do they sit?

Tuned headers replace the cast manifolds with tubular runners cut to matched lengths so each cylinder's pulse is separated before they merge. They bolt to the heads at the hottest part of the engine bay and seal with a gasket, which is why this set is listed to run with the DSF138 gasket, two of them for the V8's two banks. They change the front of the exhaust at the engine, leaving the rest of the system behind them.

What does the 1-3/4in, mandrel-bent figure mean?

The 1-3/4in number is the primary tube size, and mandrel bending keeps the tube's bore consistent through each bend rather than pinching it, which is why the kit is described at 4in across the collector. SS, Calais and GTS are the V8 trim levels this set is listed for. No power or sound figures are published by the supplier, so the listing is about fitment and tube size, not output.

Will it suit my VE or VF Commodore?

It is listed to fit the VE and VF V8 Commodore across SS, Calais and GTS. Head, accessory and steering differences still affect clearance, so confirm your exact build with the workshop before ordering rather than going by the trim badge alone.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men fits late-model header sets like this in-house across the Illawarra. We seat the flanges against the listed DSF138 gaskets, clear the steering and crossmember, and torque the runners evenly so the joints seal. Supplied by Exhaust Systems Australia at $1,535 AUD; send your VE or VF build and we will confirm the set before booking the bay.

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