What's a hotdog on the MKNI0035?

It's a compact straight-through resonator fitted mid-system. It cuts drone without much restriction, so the system flows more freely than a full muffler build.

Does it keep the catalytic converter?

Yes. This is a with-cat section, so the GU Patrol ute's factory catalytic converter stays in place.

Will it suit a Patrol wagon?

It's listed for the GU 3.0 ute body. Wagon routing differs, so confirm your exact body with the workshop before ordering.

Running a centre hotdog rather than a full muffler, the MPI Automotive MKNI0035 is a with-cat exhaust section listed to fit the GU Patrol 3.0 ute. The hotdog is a compact straight-through resonator, so it knocks down drone while keeping the system free-flowing.

Why a centre hotdog instead of a muffler?

A hotdog is a short, straight-through resonator that sits mid-system. Unlike a chambered muffler that quietens by reflection, the hotdog targets resonance and drone with minimal restriction — so the GU 3.0 ute keeps a freer-flowing path and a harder edge to the note than a fully muffled build would have. It's the choice for an owner who wants the diesel to breathe and sound present, without the boomy cabin drone an unresonated pipe can produce.

What does the with-cat configuration mean here?

This section retains the catalytic converter, so the emissions hardware the GU ute left the factory with stays in place. That's the road-relevant part of the equation: keeping the cat means you're freshening the system without stripping out the converter. The centre hotdog handles the tuning side, letting MPI Automotive keep flow up while still taking the worst of the resonance out of the cabin.

Will it suit my GU Patrol 3.0 ute?

It's listed to fit the Nissan Patrol GU 3.0 in ute body. The ute's tray and chassis routing differ from a wagon, so the centre hotdog placement is matched to that shape. Send your exact build and year and we'll confirm clearances before ordering — listed fitment is a guide, not a guarantee.

What does fitting involve in the Illawarra?

Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits the MKNI0035 in-house. We position the centre hotdog, check hanger and tray clearances, and confirm the cat sits correctly before sign-off. RRP is AUD 1674.27; tell us your GU ute's spec and we'll book it in.
