Unlike the cat-delete options in this range, the MPI Automotive MKTY0017 keeps the catalytic converter — it's a 3in system for the Toyota Landcruiser VDJ78 V8 Troop Carrier that pairs the retained cat with a hotdog resonator. That combination keeps the emissions hardware in place while still freeing up the note.
What does keeping the cat and running a hotdog give you?
Retaining the catalytic converter means the VDJ78 keeps the emissions control it left the factory with, while the 3in bore opens the system up over the restrictive stock plumbing. The hotdog — a compact straight-through resonator — passes gas through a perforated core to shave drone and harshness without choking flow. So the MKTY0017 is the sensible-but-freer build: a bigger pipe and a less muffled note, but with the cat still doing its job. It suits a Troop Carrier owner who wants more breathing room without deleting hardware.
Is the MKTY0017 road legal?
Because it keeps the catalytic converter, the MKTY0017 leaves the emissions equipment the Landcruiser came with in place — the usual sticking point for compliance on diesel 4x4s. That makes it a far more registration-friendly path than a cat-delete system, but final compliance always depends on your specific build and state requirements, so confirm those with the workshop before fitting.
Will it fit my VDJ78 Troop Carrier?
It's listed to fit the Toyota Landcruiser VDJ78 V8 Troop Carrier in 3in with cat and hotdog. The supplier doesn't publish the year range here, so confirm your exact VDJ78 build with the workshop before we order — feed data can be imperfect and the Troopy's body shape makes routing worth checking on the actual vehicle.
What's involved in fitting it in the Illawarra?
Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits this MPI Automotive system at our Oak Flats workshop. We'll confirm the 3in routing, the cat position and the hotdog clearance under your VDJ78 Troop Carrier, check it against your vehicle, and book the bay once the fitment is confirmed.
Stocked and fitted by Oak Flats Muffler Men, the Illawarra exhaust and 4x4 specialist in Oak Flats, NSW.
Common questions
- Does the MKTY0017 keep the catalytic converter?
- Yes. This is a with-cat system, so the factory catalytic converter stays in place — which makes it more registration-friendly than the cat-delete options.
- What's the hotdog for?
- It's a compact straight-through resonator that trims drone and harshness without restricting flow, giving a freer note than a full muffler.
- Will it suit my Troop Carrier?
- It's listed to fit the VDJ78 V8 Troop Carrier in 3in. Confirm your exact build with the workshop before ordering.
