The MPI Automotive SSMKFD0255 is a cat-delete turbo-back exhaust listed to fit the Ford Ranger 3.2L (PX2 and PX3). It drops the catalytic converter but keeps a rear muffler, so the gas path opens right up while the tail-pipe note stays on the civil side of loud.
Why does deleting the cat change the character?
Removing the catalytic converter takes out one of the larger flow restrictions between the turbo and the tail-pipe, which is exactly why MPI offers this SSMKFD0255 as the without-cat variant of the PX-series turbo-back family. The trade-off is a legal one rather than a fitment one: the converter is emissions hardware, and pulling it changes what the Ranger is allowed to do on the road. Because it keeps a rear muffler rather than running open, the note stays muted compared with a straight-through layout, so it reads as a free-flowing diesel rather than a raucous one.
What is a turbo-back and where does the muffler sit?
A turbo-back replaces the exhaust from the turbo outlet all the way to the tail, the full diesel span rather than a tailpipe-only swap. On this build the rear muffler does the quietening through absorption and reflection, so you get the bigger pipe without the bark of a no-muffler system. It is the middle path in the range — more open than a with-cat car, but tamer than a hotdog or straight-through alternative.
Is it road legal in NSW?
No — because the SSMKFD0255 deletes the catalytic converter, it is not ADR 79/04 compliant for road registration in NSW and is intended for off-road and competition use only. That is the honest position on any cat-delete diesel system; there is no softening of it. Talk to the workshop about your intended use before committing.
Will it suit my PX2 or PX3 Ranger?
It is listed to fit the Ford Ranger 3.2L in PX2 and PX3 guise; confirm the exact build with the workshop, since cab and model-year details vary across the run. Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits systems like this in-house across the Illawarra, checking clearances and hanger points on the hoist before signing off.

Common questions
- Does the SSMKFD0255 keep the catalytic converter?
- No. This is the without-cat turbo-back, so the converter is removed. That makes it off-road use only — it is not ADR 79/04 compliant for road registration in NSW.
- Will it be quiet or loud?
- It runs a rear muffler, so it is more subdued than a straight-through or hotdog system while still flowing better than the factory exhaust. We can't quote a sound figure — there's no measured data.
- Does it fit both PX2 and PX3 Rangers?
- It's listed to fit the 3.2L Ranger in both PX2 and PX3. Send us your exact variant and we'll confirm before ordering.
