The MPI Automotive FX-487 is a manifold-replacement set listed to fit the Mitsubishi ML Triton 3.5L V6 (2006–2012) in 4WD and 2WD. It is designed to cut and join in front of the original equipment catalytic converters, so it replaces the manifolds while leaving the factory cats in place.

What does the FX-487 cover?

The FX-487 is the manifold stage for the ML Triton's 3.5L V6. The slug describes a cut-and-join design that joins in ahead of the factory catalytic converters, so it covers the run from the heads to that join point and keeps the original cats and the system behind them. As a V6 part it addresses both banks ahead of the cats.

What is a cut-and-join manifold and what does it change?

A cut-and-join design is exactly that: the new manifolds are joined to your existing exhaust ahead of the OEM cats rather than supplied as a bolt-on cat-back. The benefit is that the factory catalytic converters and the system behind them stay, which keeps the emissions hardware the Triton left the factory with. The honest trade-offs: it requires cutting and welding into the existing pipe, so it is a workshop fit rather than a driveway swap, and sensor and shield positions need to be respected. We publish no power or sound figures for the FX-487.

Will it suit my Mitsubishi Triton?

The FX-487 is listed to fit the ML Triton 3.5L V6 (2006–2012), 4WD and 2WD; treat that as a starting point, not a guarantee, because catalogue feed data can be imperfect. Because it joins in ahead of your existing cats, your current exhaust condition matters too, so confirm your build and pipework with the workshop before ordering.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits cut-and-join manifolds like the FX-487 in-house across the Illawarra. The job involves freeing the original manifolds, positioning the new tubing, and cutting and welding the join ahead of the factory cats, then checking clearance and gasket seal. It carries a recommended retail price of $877.33, supplied by MPI Automotive; if it is not on the shelf we order it in.

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

Common questions

Yes — it's designed to cut and join in front of the original equipment cats, so the factory converters and the system behind them stay in place.
Can I fit it myself?
It's a cut-and-join design that needs welding into your existing exhaust, so it's a workshop fit. We do this in-house in the Illawarra.
Will it fit my ML Triton?
It's listed for the 3.5L V6 ML Triton (2006–2012), 4WD and 2WD. Catalogue data can vary by build, so confirm your variant with the workshop first.
