Built around a hotdog resonator, the Exhaust Systems Australia HOLDEN-COMMODORE-VT-VY-V6-UTE-WAGON-2-1-2-CATBACK-KIT-INC-HOTDOG-TAILPIPE is a 2in cat-back kit for the VT–VY Commodore V6 ute and wagon, using a compact straight-through silencer plus a tailpipe rather than a big rear box.
What's a hotdog and what does it do here?
A hotdog is a compact, straight-through resonator — a small cylindrical body that takes the edge off drone without choking flow the way a chambered rear box can. In this kit it's the silencing element, paired with a tailpipe, so the V6 keeps a freer-breathing path with the harsh notes tuned out. That's a different recipe from a full muffler: lighter on restriction, a little more present in tone.
What does the 2in cat-back replace?
This is a cat-back, so it swaps everything from the catalytic converter rearward and leaves the factory emissions hardware up front. The 2in bore is a street-sensible size for the Commodore V6. Because it's listed for both the ute and the wagon, the rear routing is shaped for those longer bodies rather than the sedan — the two share a different tail layout.
Will it suit my VT–VY V6 ute or wagon?
It's listed to fit the Holden Commodore VT through VY V6 in ute and wagon form, built on a 2in bore with a hotdog and tailpipe. Confirm your exact body and series with the workshop before ordering.
How do we fit it in the Illawarra?
Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits this cat-back kit in-house across the Illawarra. We hang the hotdog, run the 2in pipework to suit the ute or wagon floor and set the tailpipe clear at the rear. Bring the Commodore in and we'll confirm fitment and book the bay.

Does it fit a VT sedan?
It's listed for the ute and wagon. The sedan runs different rear routing, so confirm your body with the workshop.
