What bore is the MKHN0245?

It's 2.5in — the tighter pipe option, suited to a standard or lightly modified V8 ute.

What does the left-and-right routing mean?

The system splits into two pipes under the tray, one each side, rather than running a single pipe.

Does it keep the catalytic converter?

Yes — it's a cat-back, so the factory converter and front pipework stay in place.

On a 2.5in bore with left-and-right routing, the MPI Automotive MKHN0245 is the stock-pipe-sized cat-back for the Holden Commodore VU/VY/VZ V8 ute. It runs a hotdog resonator into a rear muffler and splits the run left and right, so each side carries its own pipework under the tray.

What does the 2.5in L-and-R layout suit?

Two-and-a-half inches is the tighter of the bore options — it keeps gas speed up for low-down and mid-range response on a street V8 rather than chasing top-end flow. The left-and-right routing splits the system into two pipes under the ute tray, so it's the balanced, stock-bore upgrade rather than a single fat pipe. It's the choice when you want the V8 to firm up on a stock-style pipe size with the left-and-right split.

How do the hotdog and muffler work together?

The hotdog is a compact straight-through resonator that targets drone without restricting flow, and it feeds the rear muffler that does the main silencing. Across an L-and-R layout the two stages tame resonance on each side before the note exits. It's a cat-back, so the catalytic converter and front pipes stay as fitted — this section starts behind the cat.

Will it suit my Commodore V8 ute?

It's listed to fit the Holden Commodore VU, VY and VZ V8 ute. The left-and-right pipework and hanger spacing are particular to the ute floor, which is why the system is shaped for that body. Confirm the exact build with the workshop before ordering.

What's involved fitting it in Illawarra?

Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits the MKHN0245 in-house across the Illawarra. We set the left and right pipes on the ute's hangers, position the hotdog and rear muffler, and check clearance to the tray and tow points. Bring the ute in and we'll confirm fitment and book the bay.
