The Exhaust Systems Australia HOLDEN-VE-VF-6L-6-2L-13-4-201-STAINLESS-STEEL-LONG-TUBE-HEADER-AND-3-CAT-KIT is a long-tube header and 3in cat kit listed to fit the Holden VE and VF 6L and 6.2L. It's built in 201 stainless and is a special-order item.
What are long-tube headers and what does this kit cover?
Headers, or extractors, replace the cast factory manifolds with tubular runners from each cylinder; a long-tube design runs those primaries further before they collect. This kit pairs the long-tube headers with a 3in catalytic converter section, so the front of the system and the cat are covered as one matched set. It's a change to the exhaust side of the engine rather than an internal part.
What do the 201 stainless and 3in cat mean here?
The kit is built in 201 stainless steel, the grade named in this listing, which gives it stainless corrosion resistance over plain mild steel. It pairs with a 3in cat section, the pipe size carried in the listing, so the cat and the run behind it are sized to match. The 1-3/4in primary noted in the part number is the header tube size to work from. Together those figures set how the front of the system fits together.
Will it suit my Holden VE or VF?
It's listed to fit the Holden VE and VF in 6L and 6.2L. Because the cat is part of the kit, the emissions component is included rather than deleted, though road compliance still depends on the correct parts for your car — the workshop confirms that. As a special-order item it's brought in to order.
What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?
Oak Flats Muffler Men fits long-tube header and cat kits like this in-house across the Illawarra. The work means access to drop the factory manifolds, fresh gaskets, and mating the 3in cat section cleanly. Supplied by Exhaust Systems Australia at $1,699.00 AUD as a special order; send your details and we'll confirm the fit and book the bay.
