The MPI Automotive HOLK128U25-178C is a set of ceramic-coated 1-7/8in extractors built around a dual 2.5in full system, listed to fit the Holden Commodore VE-VF V8 Ute (and the WM-WN Caprice). It's the front-of-system header swap for the LS-era V8, finished with a high-performance ceramic coating.
What are extractors and where do they sit in the system?
Extractors (also called headers) replace the factory exhaust manifolds — the cast pieces that collect spent gas straight off the cylinder head. On a V8 like this Commodore's, a primary pipe runs from each port before merging into a collector, which is where the long 1-7/8in primaries on this set come in. The trade-off is real: tubular extractors can free up exhaust flow over a cast manifold, but they sit in a tight engine bay, run closer to ancillaries, and need careful fitment. This set is matched to a dual 2.5in full system, so it's designed to flow as one package from the head back rather than as a bolt-on in isolation.
What does the ceramic coating add?
The "178C" in the HOLK128U25-178C marks the ceramic (HPC-style) coating on the 1-7/8in primaries. A coating like this is applied to header tubes to manage surface heat and corrosion; the supplier hasn't published a temperature or finish-life figure, so we won't quote one. What it changes versus the uncoated version in this range is the finish on the steel, not the 2.5in pipe sizing or the V8 fitment.
Will it suit my Holden Commodore?
It's listed to fit the Holden Commodore VE-VF V8 in Ute form, and the same listing covers the WM-WN Caprice. Because the years aren't published in our record, and Commodore V8 builds vary across that run, confirm your exact variant and driveline with the workshop before ordering — header fitment is unforgiving of small differences.
What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?
Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits extractor packages like this in-house across the Illawarra. Header swaps on a tightly packaged V8 mean checking clearances, gaskets and the full 2.5in run as one job. At an RRP of $6,358.08 this is a special-order set — send us your build and we'll confirm fitment and book the bay.

Common questions
- Will the HOLK128U25-178C fit my VE-VF Commodore ute?
- It's listed to fit the Holden Commodore VE-VF V8 Ute and the WM-WN Caprice. Confirm your exact variant with the workshop before ordering, as header fitment is sensitive to build differences.
- What's the difference between this and the uncoated set?
- This part (the 178C) carries a ceramic coating on the 1-7/8in primaries. The uncoated version in the same range shares the 2.5in sizing and V8 fitment but skips that finish.
- Can you supply and fit it in the Illawarra?
- Yes. Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits extractor sets like this in-house. It's a special-order item at $6,358.08 RRP, so contact us to confirm fitment and arrange the booking.
