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.

What does a centre muffler do on a diesel Hilux?

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.

Why renew the centre section?

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.

Will it suit my Hilux?

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.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

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.

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

Common questions

Will the MBM293MF fit my 3.0L Hilux?
It is listed to fit the 3.0L diesel Hilux in the LN147, LN167 and LN172 codes. Confirm your exact chassis code with the workshop before ordering.
Does it quieten diesel drone?
As the centre muffler it handles the mid-system resonance that diesels are prone to at cruise. It renews the silencing in the middle of the run.
Is it the whole exhaust?
No — it is the centre muffler only, so the front pipes and rear section stay in place.
