Running 1-3/4in primary extractors into a 3in system, the MPI Automotive MKHN0429 is listed to fit the VE Commodore and Maloo V8 ute. The 1-3/4in primaries suit street-engine response, with a hotdog and rear muffler shaping the note on the ute.

What does the 1-3/4in primary size do here?

The MKHN0429 leads with 1-3/4in primaries. On a street-driven VE ute V8, that primary size keeps gas speed up through the low and mid range rather than reaching for the bigger bore a high-rpm build wants. Matched to the 3in downstream pipe, it gives the ute a system that flows together off the heads, while the hotdog-and-muffler back end keeps the working ute's cabin note civil.

What's covered in the package?

It's a header-back system for the VE ute and Maloo: 1-3/4in primary extractors at the cylinder heads, a 3in run, a hotdog resonator and a rear muffler. The factory cast manifolds and the original VE exhaust both come out and the MKHN0429 goes in as one matched set, the hotdog tidying the mid-range while the rear muffler carries the silencing.

What's an extractor and what changes?

Extractors are tuned-length headers replacing the restrictive cast manifolds the VE V8 wore from the factory, giving each cylinder its own primary tube before the merge to cut back-pressure and improve scavenging. The honest trade-offs hold: they sit in the engine-bay heat zone, take labour to fit, and change the note. The 1-3/4in primaries are sized to the 3in pipe so the system works as a unit.

Will it suit my VE ute or Maloo, and what's the fitting?

It's listed to fit the VE Commodore and Maloo V8 ute; send your build and Oak Flats Muffler Men will confirm it before ordering. Fitting at our Illawarra workshop means removing the factory manifolds, hanging the 1-3/4in extractors, then routing the 3in pipe through the hotdog and rear muffler with clearance checks around the tray and over the axle. At an RRP of $4,752.55 it's a special-order set, so we confirm fitment and lead time first.

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

Common questions

Why 1-3/4in primaries on the VE ute?
On a street V8 they keep gas speed up for low-down and mid-range response, matched to the 3in downstream pipe. We have no dyno data to quote.
Does it fit the Maloo as well as the standard ute?
It's listed for the VE Commodore and Maloo V8 ute. Confirm your exact build with the workshop before ordering.
Is it a full system or just headers?
It's a header-back system: 1-3/4in extractors plus a 3in run with a hotdog and rear muffler, supplied as one matched MKHN0429 kit.
