Pacemaker is a specialist header and extractor brand, focused on replacing the restrictive factory exhaust manifold with tuned-length tubular headers for better exhaust flow right from the cylinder head. Headers are one of the more overlooked upgrades in an exhaust system, but they sit at the very start of the flow path, ahead of the catalytic converter and the rest of your cat-back system. We stock Pacemaker headers for Ford, Holden, Toyota, Mitsubishi and Chrysler applications.

What's the difference between headers and a factory exhaust manifold?

A factory exhaust manifold is typically a compact, cast component designed for cost and packaging, while tubular headers use individually tuned-length pipes for each cylinder to improve exhaust gas flow and reduce restriction at the source.

Do Pacemaker headers increase horsepower?

Headers can contribute to a power gain by improving exhaust flow from the cylinder head, though the size of the gain depends on the engine, tune and the rest of the exhaust system fitted alongside them.

Are Pacemaker headers legal for road use in Australia?

Most Pacemaker header applications are designed to be compatible with factory or aftermarket catalytic converters to maintain road-legal emissions compliance, but this varies by specific product, so check the listing or ask our team before fitting to a registered vehicle.

Which vehicles are Pacemaker headers available for?

Pacemaker covers a strong range of Ford, Holden, Toyota, Mitsubishi and Chrysler applications, with a focus on popular V8 and six-cylinder platforms. Check the specific make collection to confirm coverage for your model.
