Resonator-only is the angle on this kit (HOLDEN-COMMODORE-VY-SERIES-II-V6-UTE-WAGON-2-1-2-CATBACK-KIT-INC-HOTDOG-TAILPIPE): a 2in cat-back for the VY Series II V6 Commodore ute and wagon that runs a single hotdog and a tailpipe — no chambered muffler, for an open note on a budget.
What does a hotdog-and-tailpipe layout give you?
With just a hotdog resonator and a tailpipe, this kit leaves out the chambered muffler entirely. The hotdog is a straight-through resonator that flows freely while damping select frequencies, so the result is an open, more vocal note than any muffler-based kit. It's the keenest-priced and most free-flowing of the VY Series II ute/wagon cat-backs here.
Where does a 2in cat-back fit?
The cat-back runs from the catalytic converter rearward, sized at 2in for the V6. The front pipe and emissions hardware stay; this kit reworks the rear with a single resonator and the tailpipe, so it's the least hardware of the VY Series II ute and wagon options.
Ute or wagon — does it suit mine?
It's listed to fit the Holden Commodore VY Series II V6 in ute and wagon form. The ute tray and wagon load floor route the tail differently, so confirm your exact body, model and year with the workshop before ordering so the routing matches your car.
What does fitting involve in the Illawarra?
Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits VY cat-backs in-house. We set the hotdog position for clearance under the tray or wagon floor, run the tailpipe and check the exit before sign-off. Send your build and we'll confirm the kit suits your ute or wagon.
