MPI Automotive Hilux LN147/167/172 3.0L 5L Diesel 2 1/2in Centre Muffler.
Category: Mufflers and resonators


The MPI Automotive MBM293MF is a centre muffler for the 3.0L diesel Toyota Hilux (LN147/167/172). It is the middle silencer in the system — the body that takes out the diesel drone through the centre of the ute before the gas reaches the rear.
On a 3.0L diesel Hilux the centre muffler handles the low-frequency drone that diesels are prone to at cruise. The MBM293MF sits in the middle of the system and quietens the resonance there, before it builds up toward the back of the ute. Replacing this section alone is the practical fix when the original centre can has rusted or started blowing but the rest of the run is still serviceable.
Work-ute exhausts cop heat, water and corrosion, and the centre muffler is often the first part to fail. Swapping just this body lets you put the silencing back in order without the cost of a full system. The supplier lists the body at a 2in bore. It is a like-for-like replacement, so the front pipes and rear muffler stay as they are.
This muffler is listed to fit the 3.0L diesel Hilux in the LN147, LN167 and LN172 chassis codes. Those codes cover several body and drivetrain combinations, so confirm your exact build with the workshop before ordering rather than going by the engine size alone.
Oak Flats Muffler Men fits this centre muffler in-house. We check the joins front and rear, the hanger positions and the clearance along the chassis rail, then mount it square so it sits clear of the floor. Send your chassis code and we will confirm fitment and book the bay.
