The MPI Automotive SSMBM498MF is a dual centre muffler listed to fit the Ford Falcon FG XR8 GT sedan. As a chambered muffler run in a pair, it leads on quietening — the more subdued centre option for the V8 sedan.

What does a dual centre muffler do?

A chambered muffler uses internal baffles to reflect and absorb sound, cutting more volume than a free-flowing resonator. Run as a centre pair on the XR8 GT, it carries the main silencing mid-system across both sides of the twin-pipe layout, settling the V8's note before the rear, which is the choice for owners who want the cabin civil rather than the exhaust opened up.

Where does it sit in the system?

This is the centre stage, so it works with whatever front and rear sections the Falcon runs rather than being the visible tailpipe muffler. On the FG GT sedan it's the mid-run box that keeps the V8 civil for daily use, and as a pair it shares the silencing across both sides of the dual exhaust rather than relying on a single box.

Will it suit my XR8 GT?

It's listed to fit the Ford Falcon FG XR8 GT sedan; confirm your exact build with the workshop before ordering so the dual centre pipework and hangers line up. The FG GT is the late performance Falcon, and the centre section has to suit whatever front and rear pipework is already on the car.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men fits dual centre mufflers like this in-house across the Illawarra. We check the mid-system hangers, the under-floor clearance and the pipe sizing for the pair on the hoist, then book the bay once your build is confirmed. The RRP is listed, and we'll confirm the part suits your existing system before ordering it in.

Stocked and fitted by Oak Flats Muffler Men, the Illawarra exhaust and 4x4 specialist in Oak Flats, NSW.
