A centre hotdog rather than a full muffler is the point of difference here: the Exhaust Systems Australia FORD-FALCON-FG-SEDAN-XR6-2-1-2-WITH-CENTRE-HOTDOG is a 2in straight-through hotdog resonator in the centre position, listed for the FG Falcon XR6 sedan.

What does a centre hotdog do?

A hotdog is a compact straight-through resonator — a short cylinder that tunes the note and trims drone without the volume drop of a full chambered muffler. Fitting one in the centre position of the FG XR6 sedan, on a 2in body, keeps the mid-system freer-flowing than a centre muffler would while still smoothing the resonance that carries up through the cabin floor. It's the choice for an owner who wants to take the edge off mid-range drone without quietening the car the way a full box does.

How does it change the sound versus a muffler?

Because it flows straight through, the hotdog resonates and tunes rather than heavily muffling, so a system with a centre hotdog generally stays firmer in note than one with a chambered centre muffler. It targets drone more than overall volume. There's no published sound figure, so the honest test is to hear a comparable FG XR6 fit before deciding — this is the freer-flowing, harder-edged path through the middle.

Will it suit my FG XR6 sedan?

It's listed to fit the Ford Falcon FG XR6 sedan. The sedan mid-section length and hanger layout are specific to that body, so confirm your exact build with the workshop before ordering — and that you want the centre-hotdog character rather than a full centre muffler.

How do we fit it at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits this centre hotdog in-house across the Illawarra. We hang it on the FG sedan's mid-section mounts, check clearance to the floor and tunnel, and join it square to the pipe either side. Bring the car in and we'll confirm fitment and book the bay.

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

Common questions

How is a centre hotdog different from a centre muffler?
A hotdog flows straight through and tunes the note, so it stays firmer and freer than a chambered centre muffler, which silences more.
What bore is it?
It's a 2in straight-through resonator for the centre position.
Will it make the car loud?
A centre hotdog sits on the firmer side versus a full muffler. We can't quote a sound level — hear a comparable FG XR6 fit first.
