Unlike the delete-pipe versions, the MPI Automotive MBM468MF is a 3in centre muffler — a chambered silencing box — listed to fit the Holden VQ Statesman V8 with IRS. It keeps a real centre silencer in place, routed for the IRS rear of the long-wheelbase car.

What does a centre muffler do here?

A centre muffler is a chambered silencing box in the middle of the system. Unlike a straight centre pipe, it absorbs and reflects sound to settle the note from the centre out — the choice when you want a 3in upgrade that still keeps things civil rather than the freest, loudest delete. On a luxury long-wheelbase car like the VQ Statesman, that balance matters.

Why is the IRS routing important?

The VQ Statesman with IRS carries a different rear cradle and clearance to a live-axle car. The MBM468MF is shaped to clear that independent rear, so it sits and routes correctly. Matching the part to the IRS rear keeps it clear of the cradle and rear components.

Will it suit my VQ Statesman?

It's listed to fit the Holden VQ Statesman V8 with IRS as a 3in centre muffler. Fitment data can be imperfect, so confirm your exact build and rear setup with the workshop before ordering.

Common questions

Is this louder or quieter than a delete pipe?
Quieter — it's a chambered centre muffler that silences, where a centre delete pipe flows freely and sounds harder. Choose based on the note you want; we can advise.
