The MPI Automotive MKFD0246 is the with-cat hotdog section listed to fit the Ford PX Ranger 3.2L. It's the variant that keeps the factory catalytic converter, pairing the emissions hardware with a compact straight-through resonator.

Why the with-cat build?

The MKFD0246 is supplied for the PX Ranger 3.2L build that retains the catalytic converter — the point that separates it from the without-cat version. Keeping the cat leaves the emissions equipment the Ranger left the factory with in place, which is the key consideration for road compliance on a diesel ute. Confirm the exact build and any state requirements with the workshop before fitting.

What is the hotdog and what does it change?

A hotdog is a slim, straight-through resonator: a perforated core wrapped in absorptive packing. It's a tuning device aimed at specific drone frequencies rather than a heavy chambered muffler, so on the PX Ranger's 3.2L diesel it softens resonance while keeping flow straighter than a baffled box. The result is a freer-flowing path with the worst of the cabin drone tempered — though we can't put a number on the sound.

Will it suit my PX Ranger?

It's listed to fit the Ford PX Ranger 3.2L. The PX-generation underbody and hanger spacing are specific to that model, which is why this section is shaped to it. Confirm your exact variant and build with the workshop before ordering.

What does fitting involve in Illawarra?

Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits the MKFD0246 in-house across the Illawarra. We position the hotdog on the factory hangers, check clearance along the chassis rail on the Ranger, and join it square to the pipe either side. Bring the ute in and we'll confirm fitment and book the bay.

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