The MPI Automotive SSMBM328MF is a 3in mandrel-bent sports front muffler in stainless steel for the IRS V8 Falcon AU sedan. It's the independent-rear counterpart: where the live-axle front muffler suits solid-axle cars, this one is matched to the AU's independent rear setup.

Why the IRS-specific front muffler?

The IRS (independent rear suspension) AU Falcon carries its rear differently to the live-axle cars, and the exhaust routes around that geometry. This sports front muffler is the version matched to the IRS AU, so the system clears the independent rear setup. Fitting a live-axle part to an IRS car usually means clearance trouble, so this listing is specific to the independent-rear build.

What does the sports front muffler do?

The front muffler is the silencer nearest the engine, taking the first cut at the exhaust note before the gas reaches the rest of the system. As a sports unit it's tuned for a freer, harder note than a stock front box while still quietening. On the V8 AU it sets the early character of the note.

Why 3in mandrel-bent stainless?

Mandrel bending keeps the 3in pipe at full bore through the curves so the larger pipe flows freely on the V8. Built in stainless it resists the corrosion that rots an aluminised system, and the 3in bore matches the airflow the V8 moves. It's a free-flowing, long-lived front section.

How do we fit it in the Illawarra?

Oak Flats Muffler Men fits 3in stainless sports front mufflers in-house across the Illawarra, checking the clearances around the IRS rear on the AU Falcon. MPI Automotive lists it at $744.49; send your AU details through and we'll confirm the fit and that it's the IRS car.

Common questions

Will the SSMBM328MF fit a live-axle Falcon?
It's listed for the IRS (independent rear suspension) AU V8 specifically, which routes the exhaust differently to live-axle cars. Confirm your rear end with the workshop.
Is this the front muffler?
Yes — it's the sports front silencer, nearest the engine, for the IRS AU V8. It's 3in mandrel-bent stainless.
