Redback Headers to Suit Holder Commodore VS 3.8L Ecotec V6 (1995 -1997) (RBH042) Fits a wide range
Category: Extractors and headers


The Redback RBH042 is a set of headers listed to fit the Holden Commodore VS with the 3.8L Ecotec V6, built 1995 to 1997. It replaces the cast factory exhaust manifolds on the VS V6, with a Redback RRP of $1,135.
Headers, also called extractors, replace the engine's cast exhaust manifolds with tubular primary pipes that merge into a collector. They bolt to the cylinder head, so they're the first stage of the exhaust ahead of any pipe, cat or muffler. On a V6 like the VS Commodore's 3.8L Ecotec, that's the manifold-stage change where each cylinder gets a freer exit than the cast factory part. The RBH042 covers the headers themselves; the supplier doesn't publish pipe diameter or material in this listing, so those are confirmed on the part rather than assumed.
This set is listed to fit the Holden Commodore VS with the 3.8L Ecotec V6, across the 1995 to 1997 build window. The important check is that you have the Ecotec V6, not a different engine in the same body, since the headers have to match the head and manifold pattern of that motor. Treat the listing as 'listed to fit' and confirm your exact VS variant and engine with the workshop before ordering.
Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits headers like the RBH042 in-house across the Illawarra. On a VS V6 that means checking the head and gasket faces, the manifold studs, and clearance around the engine bay before the swap, then making sure the collectors tie cleanly back into the rest of the system. We confirm the part suits your actual car before booking the bay.
The RBH042 lists at a Redback RRP of $1,135. Headers for an older application like the VS aren't always held on the shelf, so it may come in as a special order — we'll confirm current availability and lead time when you book the work.
