This is the V8 VL: the MPI Automotive SSMKHN0033 is a 3in extractor system with twin mufflers, listed to fit the VL Commodore V8. The big 3in bore and two-muffler run make it the breathing-plus-settled-note build for the eight-cylinder VL.

What does the V8 VL system give you?

The SSMKHN0033 is matched to the V8 VL Commodore, not the six — a 3in system with a muffler at each stage. The generous 3in bore suits the eight's larger swept capacity, while the twin mufflers keep the note settled rather than raucous. It's the header-back route for a VL owner who wants the V8 to breathe through a full-bore system while keeping the cabin civil.

What's in the package?

It's a header-back system: tuned-length extractors at the cylinder heads, a 3in run and two mufflers. The factory cast manifolds and the original VL exhaust both come out and the SSMKHN0033 goes in as one matched set, with the primaries sized to the 3in pipe so the V8 system flows as a unit rather than as mismatched parts.

What's an extractor and why fit one?

Extractors are tuned-length headers that replace the restrictive cast manifolds the VL V8 wore from the factory. Each cylinder gets its own primary tube before the merge, cutting back-pressure and helping scavenge spent gas. The honest trade-offs: they sit in the engine-bay heat zone, take real labour to fit, and change the note — here held in check by the twin-muffler silencing.

Will it suit my VL, and what's the fitting?

It's listed to fit the VL Commodore V8; send your build and Oak Flats Muffler Men will confirm it before ordering. Fitting at our Illawarra workshop means removing the factory manifolds, hanging the extractors, then routing the 3in pipework through both mufflers with clearance checks along the floor and over the rear. At an RRP of $3,670.37 it's a special-order set, so we confirm fitment and lead time first.
