Mitsubishi Triton MK 3.0L V6 6G72 Headers – Wildcat WILD287

Wildcat WILD287 exhaust headers (extractors) are designed for the Mitsubishi Triton MK fitted with the 3.0L V6 6G72 DOHC 24-valve petrol engine from October 2004 to July 2006.

Featuring an interference-style extractor design, WILD287 replaces the restrictive factory exhaust manifolds with larger, smoother-flowing pipework. The design helps improve exhaust gas flow and scavenging to reduce restriction and improve torque, throttle response and overall engine performance, making these headers suitable for everyday street, touring and 4WD applications.

Why Good Headers & Exhaust Systems Matter

At 4,000 rpm, the 3.0L 6G72 V6 draws in approximately 6,000 litres of intake air per minute and expels around 18,000 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. Trial-fit both headers and exhaust connections before fully tightening the system. Protect the painted surfaces during installation to minimise scratching or damage.

Warranty & Compliance

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

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