Holden Commodore VE Ute & Maloo V8 3in Catback Hotdog/Muffler (SKU: MKHN0197) Engineered. Quality guaranteed.
Category: Mufflers and resonators


The MPI Automotive MKHN0197 is a 3in cat-back with a hotdog muffler, listed to fit the V8 VE Commodore ute and Maloo. The hotdog — a compact straight-through resonator — defines this listing and separates it from the boxed-muffler version built for the same VE tray.
A hotdog is a short straight-through resonator: gas runs down a perforated core rather than through chambers, so it flows freely and leaves a harder, more present note than a boxed muffler. On a V8 VE ute or Maloo it suits an owner who wants the cat-back heard without fitting a full chambered muffler. It is a tuning device, not a silencer.
This is a 3in cat-back, the larger bore aimed at the V8 where flow is the priority. The 3in figure is the only diameter stated in this listing; the workshop confirms the rest of the build — hanger spacing and clearance over the VE tray and rear floor — against your vehicle rather than assuming it.
It is listed to fit the V8 VE Commodore ute and Maloo. No model years are published by the supplier for this part, so confirm your exact build with the workshop before ordering rather than relying on the badge.
