Routed for the ute body, the MPI Automotive MKHN0338 is a 3in cat-back for the VF HSV Maloo V8 that pairs a centre hotdog with a rear muffler. The ute-specific routing under the tray is what sets this build apart from the sedan and wagon versions.
What does the ute routing change?
The MKHN0338 is shaped for the VF Maloo ute body, which packages its exhaust differently from a sedan or wagon — the run has to clear the tray and the ute's rear floor. That's why it's a distinct part number. The 3in bore is sized for the V8, carried back from the cat to the tailpipe in a layout built around the ute's underbody.
What do the centre hotdog and rear muffler do together?
A hotdog is a compact straight-through resonator that trims resonance with little restriction; the rear muffler is a chambered box that absorbs and reflects sound to settle the note. Running both means the centre section keeps gas moving freely while the rear muffler holds the tone in check — a tuned balance rather than an all-or-nothing approach on this V8 cat-back.
Is the MKHN0338 road legal?
As a cat-back, this system sits behind the catalytic converter, so it doesn't touch the factory cat — the supplier doesn't list a cat as part of this build because it isn't in this section. Compliance still depends on noise limits and your state's rules, so confirm the exact build and any NSW requirements with the workshop before fitting.
Fitment and fitting at our Illawarra workshop
It's listed to fit the VF HSV Maloo V8 ute; the supplier names the V8 and the ute body, so confirm your exact variant with us. Oak Flats Muffler Men fits the MKHN0338 in-house, lining up the 3in routing, the centre hotdog and the rear muffler for clearance under the tray as it goes up.
Stocked and fitted by Oak Flats Muffler Men, the Illawarra exhaust and 4x4 specialist in Oak Flats, NSW.
Common questions
- Is the MKHN0338 specific to the ute?
- Yes — it's routed for the VF HSV Maloo V8 ute body, distinct from the sedan and wagon part numbers. Confirm your body shape with the workshop.
- What's the difference between the hotdog and the rear muffler?
- The centre hotdog is a free-flowing resonator that trims tone; the rear muffler is a chambered box that settles the note further. This build runs both.
- Does a cat-back affect the catalytic converter?
- No. A cat-back sits behind the cat, so the factory catalytic converter is untouched by this system.
