The MPI Automotive FX-174DFHPC-S is the ceramic-coated, silver-finished direct-fit extractor set for the Ford Courier and Mazda Bravo / B2600 with the 2.6-litre EFI four (PD, PE, PG, PH), 1996–2007, on the ball-flange fitment. The silver ceramic coating is what marks this set out from a bare steel one.

Why ceramic coating on this set?

A ceramic coating is a thermal barrier baked onto the steel: it helps keep heat inside the runners rather than radiating it into a tight ute engine bay, and it resists corrosion and bluing far better than bare metal, holding the silver finish over time. That is the headline difference between this FX-174DFHPC-S and an uncoated set — you are paying for the coating and the longer-looking life it gives, which is reflected in the RRP of $1078.99. MPI has not published a coating temperature, so we will not state one.

What does the direct-fit, ball-flange design mean?

Direct-fit means the set bolts to the factory location and mates to the existing system at the ball flange — a spherical joint that lets the pipe seat and seal with a little angular movement, which makes alignment more forgiving on an older ute. As an extractor it replaces the cast factory manifold with individual tubular runners that merge into a collector, letting the 2.6-litre four breathe out more freely than the cast log it replaces.

Will it suit my Courier or Bravo?

It is listed to fit the Ford Courier and Mazda Bravo (PD, PE, PG, PH; B2600) on the 2.6-litre EFI engine, 1996 to 2007, with the ball-flange fitment. Listing data on parts this age can be imperfect, so send us your exact model, engine and build and we will confirm the FX-174DFHPC-S is the right set before ordering.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits coated direct-fit sets like this in the Illawarra. On a ute this age it is as much about fit as fitment: we check the set on the hoist, confirm the runners clear the chassis and steering, and sort the join to your pipework at the ball flange before booking the bay.

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