The Redback RBH259 is a header listed to fit the Holden Rodeo RA 2.4 litre from 2004 to 2008. It replaces the factory exhaust manifold with a tubular header — the front of an exhaust build on this petrol ute.

What is a header and where does it sit?

A header, or extractor, is the tubular manifold that bolts to the cylinder head and gathers exhaust from each port into separate runners before they merge. It replaces the cast factory manifold and sits at the very front of the exhaust, ahead of the cat and anything further down. The idea is smoother, more even gas flow off the head than a cast manifold allows. On a 2.4 litre Rodeo RA this is the foundational piece of an exhaust upgrade, with everything downstream feeding off it. The RBH259 is supplied set up to suit this engine and chassis rather than as raw tube.

Will it suit my Holden Rodeo?

The RBH259 is listed to fit the Holden Rodeo RA 2.4 litre from 2004 to 2008. Header fitment is tied closely to the engine and chassis, so the listing is a guide rather than a guarantee — the RA Rodeo was sold in more than one driveline. Send us your exact build and we'll confirm the RBH259 suits your ute before it's ordered in.

Is it road legal?

Whether a header is acceptable on a road-registered ute depends on how it pairs with the emissions hardware downstream and your state's requirements. We won't make an approval claim here — bring the ute in and we'll talk through how the RBH259 works with the rest of your system.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men fits headers like this on the hoist. Swapping a manifold means clearance, gasket and fastener work against the head, so it's done carefully rather than rushed. At $725 RRP the header is quoted and ordered against your specific Rodeo.

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

Common questions

Which Rodeo does the RBH259 fit?
It's listed for the Holden Rodeo RA 2.4 litre from 2004 to 2008. Confirm your exact engine and build with the workshop, as header fitment is variant-specific.
Is this a complete exhaust?
No. It's the header — the front section that replaces the factory manifold. The cat and anything further back run downstream of it.
