The MPI Automotive MBM305PHD is a 3in centre hotdog resonator for the Toyota Hilux 2.8L and 3L (KUN26R and GUN126R) — a compact straight-through silencer that softens a free-flowing diesel system without the bulk or restriction of a full centre muffler.

What does a hotdog do on a Hilux?

A hotdog is a compact, straight-through resonator: a slim body with a perforated core in absorbing packing, so exhaust flows straight through while some sound is soaked up. On the KUN26R and GUN126R Hilux it takes the harsh edge off a 3in system, cutting drone and rasp through the middle without the volume drop of a chambered muffler. It's the freer-flowing way to keep a diesel ute civil.

Who suits a 3in centre hotdog?

It fits a Hilux owner running, or planning, a free-flowing 3in exhaust who wants the cabin a bit quieter on the highway without choking the system. Sitting mid-system, the hotdog tames the middle of the run while the rest of the exhaust sets the overall note. It's the calmer-than-straight-pipe, freer-than-muffler option for the 2.8L and 3L diesels.

Will it fit my Hilux?

The MBM305PHD is listed to fit the Toyota Hilux 2.8L and 3L in the KUN26R and GUN126R, in 3in. Confirm your exact engine and the rest of your exhaust with the workshop, since a hotdog's effect depends on what else is in the system.

How is it fitted in the Illawarra?

Oak Flats Muffler Men fits these in our Illawarra bay. We position the resonator in the centre section, check clearance and hangers, and weld or clamp it in. Tell us what you want from the note and we'll confirm a hotdog gets you there before finishing the job.

Common questions

Will the MBM305PHD restrict my Hilux exhaust?
No — a hotdog is straight-through, so it keeps the 3in system flowing while taking the edge off the note. It's not a restrictive chambered box.
Does it fit both the 2.8L and 3L?
Yes — it's listed to fit the Toyota Hilux 2.8L and 3L (KUN26R and GUN126R). Confirm your exact engine with the workshop.
Is a hotdog quieter than a straight pipe?
Yes — it absorbs some sound, so it's more subdued than a bare pipe but freer-flowing and louder than a full muffler.
