Built as a compact 3in hotdog rather than a full chambered box, the MPI Automotive SSMBM252PHD is a straight-through centre resonator listed to fit the Toyota Landcruiser 75, 78 and 79 Series (HZJ, HDJ, VDJ and GDJ). It takes the edge off the note while keeping the 3in pipe flowing freely.

What is a hotdog and what does it change?

A hotdog is a short, straight-through resonator — a perforated core wrapped in packing inside a slim body, with no baffles to bend the gas flow. That makes it the free-flowing way to soften a 3in system: it knocks back the harsher frequencies and drone without the restriction or the heavy muffling of a chambered box. On a Landcruiser running a larger-bore system it's the part you reach for when you want flow first and a calmer note second.

Why a 3in body on these Landcruisers?

The SSMBM252PHD is built around 3in pipe, the larger-bore size suited to the worked or higher-output diesel Landcruisers in the 75/78/79 family rather than a small stock engine. Matching the resonator bore to the rest of a 3in system keeps the gas speed consistent through the centre of the car.

Will it suit my 75, 78 or 79 Series?

It's listed to fit the Toyota Landcruiser across the 75, 78 and 79 Series in HZJ, HDJ, VDJ and GDJ guises. That's a broad family with different wheelbases and tray arrangements, so confirm your exact chassis code and existing pipe size with the workshop before ordering.

What does fitting involve in the Illawarra?

Oak Flats Muffler Men fits centre hotdogs like this at our Illawarra workshop. We align it to the existing 3in run, set the clearances under the tray or chassis, and clamp or weld it in. MPI Automotive lists a recommended retail of $393.26; bring your Cruiser in and we'll confirm the section before booking.

Common questions

Is a hotdog quieter than a normal muffler?
Generally less so — a hotdog is a straight-through resonator built to flow and trim harshness, not to muffle as heavily as a chambered box. It suits owners who want flow and a calmer note over maximum quiet.
What pipe size does the SSMBM252PHD suit?
It's built for 3in pipe, so it pairs with a 3in Landcruiser system. Confirm your existing bore with the workshop.
