hsv headers

[W45H1NGT0N]

hey guys,
i have recently acquired a set of hsv headers (vx i think) and was wondering if they will fit my vy ss ute without any cutting or welding? or will the cat pipes just need to be shortened or lengthened?

cheers

I know that vt-vy v6 headers all clear the chassis/block mate.. but not sure if this applies to the v8 or not

 

[W45H1NGT0N]

ok cos yeh all the hsv v8 headers come up with vt-vz as in thats when they will suit... i think?!?!?! jw if any part of the exhaust will have to b modified to make them fit?!?!

Well...

VX/VY are both GEN3 right? i could be wrong but i'd assume you should be fine..

Look at the 2 bolt fitting on the flange where the engine pipes would bolt up, if it is a flat flange rather than a cup style flange then your existing pipes will not bolt up. I'm pretty sure the HSV's use the flat style flange.

ok yeh these are gen 3 v8 extractors and from what i can tell its a cup style. these could even possibly be HM headers

It must be the earlier HSV's that use the flat flange. They should fit then.

ok kool so i shouldnt have to lengthen/ shorten the cat pipes?

No, you shouldn't have to.
