The MPI Automotive SSMKHN0034 is a 3in extractor-back system listed to fit the V8 Holden Commodore VL. It runs from extractors at the heads through a 3in pipe and a muffler out to the tailpipe, making it a full engine-back package rather than a tailpipe-only change.

What does this SSMKHN0034 system cover?

This is an extractors-out build for the V8 VL Commodore. It starts with extractors at the cylinder heads, carries through a 3in exhaust run, and finishes through a muffler to the tailpipe. Because it begins at the heads rather than further downstream, it covers the whole engine-back portion of the exhaust — the section that most affects how the V8 breathes. The 3in pipe is the larger bore here, and the muffler keeps the note settled.

What are extractors and what's the trade-off?

Extractors, or headers, swap the cast factory exhaust manifolds for separate tuned tubes that join further back. The aim is to cut the back-pressure each cylinder works against on the exhaust stroke so spent gases clear more freely as the engine spins up. The flipside is packaging: they sit close to other gear in the engine bay, so clearances, gasket sealing and the join have to be right. They change how the engine breathes, not its capacity, so treat them as a flow upgrade for the existing V8, not a power figure we can't quote.

Will it suit my Holden Commodore VL?

It's listed to fit the V8 Commodore VL with a muffler and 3in run. The supplied record gives the make, model and V8 engine but not the production years, so we don't publish a year range here. VL build details varied, so confirm your exact car with the workshop before ordering — feed data can be imperfect, and we check it against the vehicle.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits extractor systems like this in-house across the Illawarra. Since it starts at the heads, fitting covers extractor clearances, gaskets and the join to the 3in run and muffler, then the tailpipe. At an RRP of $3,283.12 it's generally a special-order item, so send your VL's details and we'll confirm the build.
