The MPI Automotive MBM587PHD is a 3in centre hotdog for the Ford Ranger PX and Mazda BT-50. The 3in straight-through design is the headline — it is the free-flowing centre device sized to keep these turbo-diesel utes breathing, not a chambered muffler.

What is a 3in hotdog and what does it do?

A hotdog is a compact straight-through resonator: gas runs through a perforated core wrapped in packing, so flow stays high while the packing takes some of the harshness out. At a 3in bore the MBM587PHD is sized to keep the Ranger PX and BT-50 flowing through the centre of the system while still controlling some of the drone. It is the lighter-touch silencing device for the middle of the run.

Hotdog vs a chambered centre muffler

Because the gas path is straight through rather than folded back on itself, a hotdog flows more freely than a chambered muffler. That makes it the pick for owners running a freer-flowing system who still want some resonance taken out of the centre, with the rear muffler doing the heavier silencing. The 3in bore keeps the section open for the turbo-diesel.

Will it suit my Ranger or BT-50?

This hotdog is listed to fit the Ford Ranger PX and Mazda BT-50, which share a platform. Build detail varied across the PX run, so confirm your exact model and the rest of your exhaust with the workshop before ordering rather than going by the badge.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men fits this 3in centre hotdog in-house. We check where it sits in your run, the joins either side and the clearance along the chassis, then weld or clamp it in so it integrates with the existing pipework. Send your model details 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

What bore is the MBM587PHD?
It is a 3in centre hotdog, sized to keep the Ranger PX and BT-50 flowing through the middle of the system.
Does it fit both the Ranger and BT-50?
Yes — it is listed for the Ford Ranger PX and Mazda BT-50, which share a platform. Confirm your exact model with the workshop.
Is a hotdog quieter than a muffler?
A straight-through hotdog takes the edge off resonance but does less heavy silencing than a chambered muffler, while flowing more freely. The rear muffler carries the heavier silencing.
