The MPI Automotive MBM480PHD swaps chambered rear boxes for hotdogs — compact straight-through resonators — in a 3in layout, listed to fit the VE SS / Maloo ute V8 6.0L. The hotdog rear is the point: free-flowing and harder-sounding than a muffler.

What does a hotdog rear do?

A hotdog is a short straight-through resonator — a perforated core in packing, with no baffles to bend the flow. Run as the rear element on this ute, it keeps the system free-flowing and trims harsh frequencies and drone rather than muffling heavily. The result is a louder, freer character than a chambered rear muffler — the choice for owners who want flow and note over maximum quiet. At 3in it's the larger bore, matched to the 6.0L V8.

Where does the hotdog sit on the ute?

These hotdogs sit at the rear of the system, in place of chambered rear boxes. They change the rear section only on the VE SS / Maloo ute — the rest of the exhaust ahead stays as it is, so this is a back-of-system character change rather than a full exhaust.

Will it suit my VE SS or Maloo ute?

It's listed to fit the VE SS / Maloo ute V8 6.0L as a 3in rear hotdog set. Fitment data can be imperfect, so confirm your exact variant with the workshop before ordering.
