The MPI Automotive SSMKFD0249 is the automatic-transmission cat-delete hotdog section listed to fit the Ford Ranger 3.0L (PJ and PK). The auto fitment is what sets it apart — it is shaped for the automatic Ranger's gearbox and crossmember rather than the manual car's.
What makes this the automatic version?
The PJ/PK Ranger packages its exhaust and hangers differently depending on transmission, so MPI lists the SSMKFD0249 for the automatic 3.0L specifically. Choosing the auto-matched section keeps the run clear of the auto's gearbox and crossmember and lands the hangers where they belong, which is the difference between a clean bolt-up and an afternoon of fettling. The acoustic element is a hotdog resonator rather than a muffler box.
How does a hotdog behave?
A hotdog is a compact straight-through resonator — a perforated core in absorptive packing — that takes the rasp off without choking flow. It sits toward the open, free-flowing end of the scale rather than the hushed end, so the auto 3.0L breathes more freely while staying short and easy to package.
Is it road legal?
The SSMKFD0249 is a without-cat section, meaning the catalytic converter is deleted. On a diesel that is not ADR 79/04 compliant for road registration in NSW and is for off-road and competition use only. We state that plainly so there is no confusion about how it can be used.
Will it suit my automatic PJ/PK Ranger?
It is listed to fit the automatic Ford Ranger 3.0L in PJ and PK form; confirm the exact build with the workshop, since variants differ across the run. Oak Flats Muffler Men fits sections like this in-house across the Illawarra and will check the auto-specific clearances on the hoist first.
Stocked and fitted by Oak Flats Muffler Men, the Illawarra exhaust and 4x4 specialist in Oak Flats, NSW.
Common questions
- Is the SSMKFD0249 for an automatic Ranger?
- Yes — it's the automatic-transmission version for the PJ/PK Ranger 3.0L. There's a separate manual part, so let us know which you're running.
- Does it delete the cat?
- Yes, this is the without-cat hotdog section, which makes it off-road use only — not ADR 79/04 compliant for road registration in NSW.
- Is a hotdog quieter than a muffler?
- Generally no — a hotdog flows more freely and tends to a more open note than a chambered muffler. We can't quote a decibel figure as there's no measured data.
