Advance Headers High-Performance Premium Stainless Steel Engine Conversion Exhaust Extractors for Nissan Patrol GQ & GU LS Series V8 Installations (Nissan Manual Transmissions)
The Advance Headers Stainless Steel Performance Conversion Extractors (A293MSS) are the ultimate, ultra-durable manifold solution engineered specifically for dropping Gen III or Gen IV GM LS-Series V8 power into Nissan Patrol GQ (Y60) and GU (Y61) 4WD platforms. Purpose-built to facilitate seamless engine swaps when matching the high-performance V8 to the heavy-duty original Nissan 5-speed manual gearbox via a Marks 4WD adapter bellhousing, this premium manifold assembly is manufactured entirely from high-grade stainless steel for elite thermal durability and permanent resistance against heavy track mud, river crossings, and environmental oxidation. By eliminating packaging constraints and maximizing exhaust gas scavenging velocity, it unlocks vital low-to-mid range torque, explosive throttle response, and that signature deep V8 muscle note.
PRODUCT CONTENTS:
- 1 x Left-Hand Premium Stainless Steel LS V8 Nissan Patrol Conversion Extractor Header
- 1 x Right-Hand Premium Stainless Steel LS V8 Nissan Patrol Conversion Extractor Header
Key Features:
- High-grade stainless steel construction provides ultimate protection against harsh off-road mud exposure, underbody rock abrasion, and severe engine swap thermal stress
- Custom clearance-mapped around the structural contours of the Marks 4WD conversion bellhousing to prevent clutch slave cylinder, fork, and linkage binding
- Engineered to easily route primary tubes past Patrol front driveshafts, complex suspension radius arms, front differential housings, and large aftermarket steering dampeners
- Tuned mandrel-bent primary piping pathways ensure completely uniform internal flow geometry, optimizing gas velocity and removing the layout restrictions common in universal swap headers
- Thick, precision laser-cut cylinder head flanges maintain a flat, ultra-stable mating footprint to permanently guard against face distortion, thermal warping, and high-pressure exhaust leaks
- Engineered for a fast workshop conversion turnaround, featuring an estimated baseline installation window of just 2 hours

⚠️ Crucial Drivetrain Adaptation & Component Alignment Warnings:
1. Strict Nissan Manual Gearbox Configuration Only: This product (Part No. A293MSS) is custom-formed strictly for vehicles converting to an LS engine while **retaining the native Nissan 5-speed manual gearbox utilizing a Marks 4WD adapter bellhousing**. It will NOT clear conversions utilizing automatic gearboxes (such as the Nissan RE4 or GM 4L60E/6L80E units) due to completely distinct case castings, starter motor positions, and underbody clearance thresholds.
2. Engine Mount Setup: Mapped around standard conversion engine position guidelines. Minor clearance mapping changes can occur depending on the specific height and offset calibrations of the conversion chassis mounts chosen for the swap.
Please Note: Due to the specialized technical nature of full-scale V8 engine conversions and the absolute necessity of maintaining maximum underbody clearance tolerances for the front driveshaft, professional installation by a 4WD conversion specialist or experienced custom exhaust shop is highly recommended.
