This Exhaust Systems Australia mandrel-bent extractor set (use DSF083 gasket) is listed to fit the Holden Commodore VS with the 3.8L Ecotec V6 and a manual gearbox. It replaces the factory exhaust manifolds at the engine, the front-end upgrade for the six-cylinder Commodore.

What are extractors and where do they fit?

Extractors, often called headers, swap the cast exhaust manifolds for tubular runners that give each cylinder its own path before they merge. They sit at the hottest point of the engine bay and seal to the head with a gasket, which is why this set is listed to run with the DSF083 gasket. They change the start of the exhaust at the engine, not the muffler or pipework behind it.

Why does it call out the manual VS Ecotec?

Extractor routing has to clear the gearbox, crossmember and steering, and those differ between a manual and an automatic car, so this set is listed specifically for the 3.8L Ecotec V6 VS Commodore with a manual. The DSF083 reference is the matching flange gasket. No power or sound figures are published by the supplier, so the listing is about fit, not output.

Will it suit my Commodore?

It is listed to fit the VS Commodore with the 3.8L Ecotec V6 and a manual transmission. If your car is an automatic or a different series, the routing may not suit, so confirm your build with the workshop before ordering rather than going by the model alone.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men fits extractor sets like this in-house across the Illawarra. We seat the flanges against the listed DSF083 gasket, work around the manual-gearbox clearances, and torque the runners evenly so the joints seal. Supplied by Exhaust Systems Australia at $1,005 AUD; tell us your VS build and we will confirm the set suits it before booking the bay.

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