The MPI Automotive MKFD0249 is the automatic-transmission listing of the cat-delete hotdog section for the PJ and PK Ford Ranger 3.0L: a hotdog-silenced run with the catalytic converter removed, specified for the auto car. With the cat deleted, it's an off-road-only part.

Why an auto-specific listing?

Exhaust routing on the PJ/PK Ranger differs between the automatic and manual cars around the gearbox and crossmember, which is why this MKFD0249 is called out for the auto. Fitting an auto-listed section is about matching that drivetrain's layout — the manual car has its own listing rather than sharing this one.

What does the hotdog do?

A hotdog is a compact straight-through resonator — gas passes through a perforated core rather than chambers. On this cat-delete section it gives light silencing while flowing more freely than a full muffler, keeping the note on the harder side. The diameter and the broader system type aren't published by the supplier for this listing, so we won't quote them.

Is it road legal?

No. Because the MKFD0249 deletes the catalytic converter, it is not ADR 79/04 compliant for road registration in NSW and is intended for off-road use only. Removing the cat changes the emissions hardware the Ranger left the factory with — there's no softening that for road use.

How do you fit it in Illawarra?

Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits Ranger exhaust sections in-house across the Illawarra. We confirm the auto fitment, route the pipe and hotdog around the gearbox and crossmember, check clearances on the hoist, and confirm it's an off-road application before booking the bay.

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

Common questions

Is this for the auto or manual Ranger?
This MKFD0249 is the automatic-transmission listing. The manual PJ/PK Ranger 3.0L has its own version.
Is it road legal?
No. It deletes the catalytic converter, so it is not ADR 79/04 compliant for road registration in NSW and is for off-road use only.
Will it fit my PJ/PK Ranger 3.0L?
It's listed to fit the automatic PJ/PK Ranger 3.0L. Confirm your build with the workshop. Supplied by MPI Automotive.
