What is the SSMBM206PHD made from?

It is built from 304-stainless steel, which resists the corrosion that rots out mild-steel parts, giving it a longer service life on a wagon that gets used hard.

It is a 3in centre hotdog, sized to keep the GU Patrol's centre section flowing freely.

Is a hotdog the main silencer?

No — it is a straight-through resonator that takes some drone out of the centre while flowing freely. The rear muffler carries the heavier silencing.

Built from 304-stainless steel, the MPI Automotive SSMBM206PHD is a 3in centre hotdog for the GU Nissan Patrol. The stainless construction is the headline — it shrugs off the corrosion that rots mild-steel parts, making it the long-life centre resonator for a wagon that gets used hard.

Why 304-stainless for a Patrol hotdog?

A centre section runs hot, cools and collects condensation, which is exactly where mild steel corrodes from the inside out — and on a GU Patrol that sees water crossings and touring, that matters even more. A 304-stainless hotdog resists that cycle and holds up far longer, so the SSMBM206PHD is the part you fit when you want to do the centre once. It is the corrosion-resistant upgrade over a plain aluminised resonator.

What is a hotdog and what does it do?

A hotdog is a compact straight-through resonator: gas passes through a perforated core wrapped in packing, so flow stays high while the packing absorbs some harshness. At a 3in bore it keeps the centre of the system open while taking some drone out of the run. The rear muffler does the heavier silencing, so the hotdog is the lighter-touch centre device — here in a build that lasts.

Will it suit my GU Patrol?

This hotdog is listed to fit the GU Nissan Patrol. The GU ran over a long period with several engine and build combinations, so confirm your exact model and the rest of your exhaust with the workshop before ordering rather than assuming a straight swap.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men fits this 3in stainless hotdog in-house. We check where it sits in your run, the joins either side and the clearance along the chassis, then weld or clamp it in so the stainless section integrates cleanly with the existing pipework. Send your model details and we will confirm fitment and book the bay.
