Is the SSMBM071MF the centre or rear muffler?

It's the centre muffler — the mid-system silencer that does the first stage of quietening before the rear muffler.

What bore is it built for?

A 2in bore, suited to the GU Patrol's centre-section routing. We confirm it matches the rest of your system at fitting.

Do I need to replace the rear muffler too?

Not necessarily. The centre and rear are separate sections — we confirm what connects either side at fitting.

The MPI Automotive SSMBM071MF is the centre-section muffler for the Nissan Patrol GU 6-cylinder, built at a 2in bore. Its job is mid-system: it does the first stage of quietening before the rear silencer, rather than at the tailpipe.

What does a centre muffler do?

A centre muffler is the middle silencer in the run. It takes the first cut at the note so the rear muffler doesn't have to do all the work, which keeps the GU Patrol's voice balanced front to back. The SSMBM071MF is built at a 2in bore to suit the Patrol's centre routing, and as a chambered body it quietens by absorption and reflection.

Why match the centre section?

When you replace or upgrade a rear silencer, matching the centre muffler keeps the system consistent — both stages working together rather than fighting. On the GU 6-cylinder this is the mid-system piece. MPI Automotive lists it as a muffler only, so the surrounding pipe is confirmed at fitting and material isn't published by the supplier.

Will it suit my Patrol GU?

It's listed to fit the Nissan Patrol GU 6-cylinder. The GU came in ute and wagon forms with differing floors, so confirm your exact body and build with the workshop before ordering. Tip specs aren't published.
