The Redback RBH247A is the automatic-transmission version of this Pajero header set: it includes the auto base pipe, the section that joins the headers to the rest of the system on an auto-equipped 3.5L V6 from 1997 to 2000.

Why the auto base pipe matters

This set is listed with the auto base pipe specifically, so it is matched to the automatic Pajero's underbody routing rather than the manual layout. That makes your transmission the first thing to confirm — an auto base pipe and a manual base pipe take different paths to clear the gearbox and crossmember. Getting that right is the difference between a clean bolt-up and reworking the join on the hoist.

What's in the header set?

These are mandrel-bent headers that replace the cast factory manifolds with tuned tubular runners into collectors. Mandrel bending keeps the bore consistent through the curves instead of pinching it on a tight bend. They sit at the front of the system as the first section the exhaust gas meets, with the included auto base pipe carrying it back. Redback doesn't publish a usable tube diameter or material for this part, so the workshop confirms the actual parts rather than us quoting figures we can't trace.

Will it suit my 3.5L V6?

It is listed for the 3.5L V6 from 1997 to 2000 with the auto base pipe set up for the automatic. Treat that as listed to fit rather than guaranteed, and confirm your transmission and exact build with the workshop before ordering. The recommended retail is $1395, and this Redback part can be a special order depending on stock.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men fits these Redback header sets in the Illawarra. We check the head faces, studs and the base-pipe join while the old manifolds are off, then fit the RBH247A with fresh gaskets. Book it in and we'll confirm access and clearances on the hoist.

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