Pacemaker 2.5" Exhaust System with 1 3/4" Tuned Headers for HSV VU Maloo R8 5.7L V8 Ute 2000–2002 - PP5361-32 (Rear Pipe Only Variant)

Pacemaker 2.5" Performance Exhaust System with 1 3/4" Tuned Length Headers & Rear Pipe Only for HSV VU Maloo R8 Ute (5.7L V8) - PP5361-32

Unlock major horsepower gains and unleash an ultra-aggressive muscle roar from your 5.7L LS1 engine with the Pacemaker Sport Systems complete twin 2.5" performance exhaust solution. Specifically engineered to clear the distinct utility floor pan, chassis layout, and independent rear suspension of the HSV VU Series (including VU II) Maloo R8 utility platforms, this heavy-breathing configuration replaces the standard rear tail resonators with an unrestricted, straight-through "Rear Pipe Only" section. Featuring 1 3/4" primary tuned length headers paired with a balanced twin 2.5" mandrel-bent line, it delivers maximum exhaust gas velocity while providing an unfiltered racetrack bark. It is the ultimate match for cammed, modified, or high-scavenging 5.7L builds that demand peak track-day performance and a loud, standout tone. This premium kit comes finalized with mirror-polished silver chrome exhaust tips for a commanding street presence. Note: Fits HSV VU and VU II Maloo R8 Utility models (2000–2002) equipped with the 5.7L LS1 V8 engine.

Features:

Precision-manufactured in Australia to deliver the absolute peak in flow efficiency, heavy-duty scavenging, and raw acoustic output for the high-performance HSV utility tray platform.

• Complete Headers Setup: Total kit featuring primary tuned headers, twin hi-flow cats, center mufflers, and a straight-through rear layout.
• Rear Pipe Configuration: Built with a straight-through rear assembly that deletes the traditional tail resonators for maximum exhaust bark and completely unrestricted flow.
• 1 3/4" Tuned Length Headers: Proven primary extractor design (Part No. PH5361) engineered to optimize mid-to-high end power potential and volumetric efficiency.
• Premium Materials: Constructed completely from durable Exhaust Grade 409 Stainless Steel for superior longevity under high thermal stress.
• Mandrel Bent Tubing: Heavy-duty twin 2.5" (63.5mm) pipe structure ensures a smooth, constant internal diameter to prevent backpressure.
• Direct Bolt-On Layout: 100% complete bolt-up solution with all vehicle-specific gaskets, bolts, and dual silver chrome tips included—no custom fabrication required.

Important Fitment Notes:

• Specifically engineered to fit HSV VU and VU II Utility (Ute / Maloo R8) platforms powered by the 5.7L LS1 engine (2000–2002).
• Utility Specific Chassis Layout: This configuration features tailor-formed exhaust pipe lengths, specific bend profiles, and bracket placements designed precisely to mount cleanly under the utility tray and floor layout. It will not adapt correctly to Sedan or Station Wagon models.
• The "Rear Pipe Only" deletion of the rear resonator assembly creates a significantly louder, unfiltered acoustic profile compared to full-muffler or resonated configurations.
• Direct bolt-on design reuses vehicle-specific factory hanger positions. No modification or fabrication is required.
• Professional automotive performance technician installation is highly recommended to guarantee ideal ground clearance and tight seals under the tray.
