Mitsubishi Mirage CE 1996-2003 1.5L SOHC 8V 12V Wildcat Exhaust Headers WILD011

Wildcat WILD011 exhaust headers (extractors) are designed for selected Mitsubishi Mirage CE models from 1996–2003 fitted with 1.5L SOHC 8-valve and 12-valve petrol engines.

Featuring an interference-style header design, WILD011 uses 38mm (1.50") primary pipes, 45mm (1.75") secondary pipes and a 51mm (2.00") outlet. This combination is designed for street performance applications, helping maintain exhaust gas velocity and improve scavenging for better torque, throttle response and usable engine performance.

Why Good Headers & Exhaust Systems Matter

At 4,000 rpm, a 1.5L petrol engine theoretically draws in approximately 3,000 litres of intake air per minute and can expel around 9,000 litres of hot exhaust gas per minute at approximately 600°C.

A well-designed header and exhaust system helps manage this high gas flow efficiently, reducing restriction and improving exhaust scavenging, torque, throttle response and engine performance.

Installation Tips

• Apply penetrating lubricant such as WD-40 or similar to the manifold studs, nuts and exhaust fasteners before removal
• Remove all traces of the old manifold gasket before installing the headers
• Inspect the cylinder-head sealing surface, manifold studs and threads before installation
• Fit a new exhaust manifold/header gasket
• Trial-fit the headers before fully tightening the mounting hardware
• Check clearance around the engine mounts, steering, transmission, starter motor and surrounding components
• Protect the painted header surfaces during trial fitting and installation
• Check all exhaust connections for leaks after installation
• Inspect and re-tighten the header mounting hardware after the initial heat cycles

Warranty & Compliance

Wildcat headers are covered by the applicable 2-year manufacturer's warranty subject to standard warranty terms and conditions.

Installation must retain the catalytic converter, oxygen sensor and any other emissions-control equipment required for the vehicle. Exhaust and emissions requirements vary between Australian states and territories, and the completed installation must comply with the regulations applicable in your state or territory.
