Built on a 3in bore, the MPI Automotive MKHN0252 is the larger-pipe cat-back for the Holden Commodore VU/VY/VZ V8 ute. It runs a single muffler into a tailpipe, so the gas passes through one silencing stage before exiting — the freer-breathing, single-box layout for the V8 tray.

What does the 3in bore suit on the V8 ute?

Three inches is the bigger of the bore options, sized for a V8 that's been worked or simply wants the larger pipe to keep up at the top end. On the VU/VY/VZ ute it replaces the factory cat-back with a single muffler feeding a tailpipe — fewer silencing stages than a twin-muffler run, which is what gives this layout its freer-breathing character. We won't quote a sound figure; the honest gauge is to hear a comparable fit on the bench.

Why a muffler-and-tailpipe layout?

This is a single-muffler system: one box does the silencing, then the pipe runs straight to the tail. With only one stage in the line the note is less restrained than a muffler-into-muffler build, but it's a cat-back, so the catalytic converter and front pipework stay as fitted. The 3in body carries the V8's volume without choking it back to a stock-quiet result.

Will it suit my Commodore ute?

It's listed to fit the Holden Commodore VU, VY and VZ V8 ute; confirm the exact build with the workshop before ordering. The tray-back routing and hanger spacing on these utes differ from the sedan, which is why this section is shaped specifically for the ute floor and tow points.

What does fitting involve in the Illawarra?

Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits the MKHN0252 in-house across the Illawarra. We hang it on the ute's mounts, check clearance to the tray and any tow gear, and join the muffler square to the front pipe and out to the tailpipe. Bring the ute in and we'll confirm fitment and book the bay.

Common questions

What bore is the MKHN0252?
It's a 3in cat-back — the larger pipe option, suited to a worked or bigger-breathing V8.
How many mufflers does it run?
One. It's a single muffler into a tailpipe, so the exhaust passes through a single silencing stage.
Does it keep the catalytic converter?
Yes — it's a cat-back, so the factory cat and front pipework stay in place. We replace from behind the cat back.
