Set up for the ute body, this XForce-style twin 2.5in cat-back for the Holden Commodore ute (VT-VZ) finishes on a hotdog rear — a compact straight-through resonator that flows freely and trims drone. Supplied by Exhaust Systems Australia in raw 409 stainless as a special-order item.

Why the ute routing?

A Commodore ute carries its rear exhaust under a tray and a different rear floor to the sedan, so this cat-back is shaped and hung for the ute body. It's listed for the VT-VZ ute specifically, which means the twin 2.5in pipework and the hotdog position are set to clear the ute's underbody rather than a sedan's boot floor.

What does the hotdog rear do?

A hotdog is a short straight-through resonator — a perforated core in packing with no baffles to bend the flow. As the rear element it keeps the system free-flowing and trims harsh frequencies and drone rather than muffling heavily, giving a louder, freer note than a chambered rear box. It suits owners who want flow and character over maximum quiet on the ute.

What's the cat-back scope and finish?

It's a twin 2.5in cat-back, replacing the system from behind the catalytic converter rearward and leaving the cat in place. Construction is 409 stainless in a raw, unpolished finish — corrosion-resistant grade without a mirror polish. As a special-order item it's built to order, so allow lead time.

Will it suit my VT-VZ ute, and how do we fit it?

It's listed to fit the Commodore ute across VT to VZ. Oak Flats Muffler Men fits hotdog cat-backs like this in-house in the Illawarra. Exhaust Systems Australia lists it at $965; confirm your exact build and the special-order lead time with us before ordering.

Stocked and fitted by Oak Flats Muffler Men, the Illawarra exhaust and 4x4 specialist in Oak Flats, NSW.

Common questions

Is this shaped for the ute?
Yes — it's listed for the VT-VZ ute and routed for the ute's underbody and tray, not the sedan. Confirm your build with the workshop.
Is the hotdog rear loud?
It's a straight-through resonator, so it flows freely and trims drone rather than muffling heavily — expect a louder, freer note than a chambered rear box.
