Why Good Headers & Exhaust Systems Matter

At 4,000 rpm, the 2.7L 3RZ-FE engine theoretically draws in approximately 5,388 litres of intake air per minute and can expel around 16,160 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 RBG231 exhaust manifold/header gasket
• Use the required flange plate as specified for this application
• Trial-fit the headers before fully tightening the mounting hardware
• Check clearance around the engine mounts, steering, transmission 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.
