The MPI Automotive SSMBC489PACE is a 2-1/2in dual catalytic-converter assembly listed to fit the VE to VF 6.0L V8 in HSV and SS, built to suit Pacemaker headers and a Manta system. It is the cat section that joins the headers to the cat-back, not a full exhaust.

What does this cat assembly cover?

This is a dual catalytic-converter assembly: a pair of 2-1/2in pipes, each carrying a cat, that sit behind the extractors and feed into the cat-back. It is made to suit Pacemaker headers and a Manta system on the VE to VF 6.0L V8, as used in HSV and SS models. It is a mid-section component, not a complete exhaust, and its RRP is listed at $1,236.81 AUD.

What is a dual-cat assembly and where does it sit?

On a twin-pipe V8 like the VE to VF the cats live just downstream of the headers, keeping the emissions hardware in the system after extractors go on. At 2-1/2in the bore suits a milder twin setup on the 6.0L, and building the assembly to suit Pacemaker headers and a Manta system means the flanges and pipe runs line up without custom fabrication. Because it retains both catalytic converters, it keeps the factory emissions equipment in place rather than removing it. It is the bridge between the extractors and the cat-back, so it is bought as part of a header-and-system combination.

Will it suit my HSV or SS Commodore?

It is listed to fit the VE to VF 6.0L V8 in HSV and SS, and it is built to suit Pacemaker headers and a Manta system. The header flange and the rest of the system matter here, so confirm your exact extractors and cat-back with the workshop before ordering.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men fits cat assemblies like this in-house across the Illawarra as part of a full extractor-and-system job. We check the Pacemaker header flange, the 2-1/2in pipe alignment and clearance before tying it into the Manta system behind it. Send your VE or VF V8 details and we will confirm the fit.
