The Pacemaker KB9506-HXMX is a complete header KIT — extractors plus the single 2½ in system to finish the section — listed to fit the naturally aspirated 4.2L Nissan Patrol GQ short-wheel-base wagon built 1987–1997. As a kit it brings the pipework and hardware to complete the run, not just the header on its own.

What's in the kit versus a bare header?

A kit is the difference here: rather than supplying only the extractors and leaving you to source pipe, the KB9506-HXMX includes the single 2½ in system to carry the gas back from the collector. For a load-carrying NA 4.2 petrol Patrol, the single 2½ run is the matched diameter Pacemaker pairs with these headers for the short-wheel-base wagon.

Why a SWB-wagon-specific kit?

The short-wheel-base GQ wagon has its own underbody length and clearances, so the system in this kit is routed for the SWB floorpan rather than the long-wheel-base or cab-chassis. Pacemaker lists it for the 1987–1997 NA 4.2L SWB wagon — the body and engine combination the pipework is shaped around.

Is it road legal?

This is a header-and-pipe kit with no catalytic converter or muffler decisions baked into the part record, so there's no cat-delete claim to make on it. Whether the Patrol stays registrable depends on the full system as built and signed off against NSW requirements, which we work through for the specific vehicle. Pacemaker lists no compliance approval and we won't claim one.

Will it suit my GQ Patrol, and what does fitting involve?

It's listed to fit the NA 4.2L GQ SWB wagon (1987–1997); we confirm that against your exact Patrol before ordering. Oak Flats Muffler Men fits these kits across the Illawarra — we drop the factory manifold, hang the headers and single 2½ in system, and seal the joints for the heat. RRP is listed at 1723.74 AUD; fitting is quoted on the vehicle.

Common questions

Does the KB9506-HXMX include the exhaust pipework?
Yes — it's a kit, so the single 2½ in system comes with the headers to complete the section rather than the extractors alone.
Is this for the short or long wheelbase Patrol?
The short-wheel-base GQ wagon. The system is routed for the SWB floorpan; confirm your exact body with the workshop.
