Built around a 3in turbo-back layout that keeps the factory catalytic converter, the MPI Automotive SSMKHN0009 is listed to fit the pre-DPF Holden Colorado RG 2.8L (2012 to August 2016). It runs a rear muffler, so it's the engine-back upgrade for owners who want more breathing room without losing the cat.

What does a 3in turbo-back cover on the RG Colorado?

A turbo-back run replaces the exhaust from the turbo outlet rearward — a longer span than a cat-back and the section where a 2.8L diesel like the Colorado's tends to free up. At 3in it's stepped up from the restrictive factory tube, sized for the engine rather than the tailpipe. The SSMKHN0009 finishes through a muffler, so the note stays civil instead of raucous, and it suits the non-DPF RG specifically — the 2012 to August 2016 window before the diesel particulate filter arrived.

Why does it keep the catalytic converter?

This is the with-cat build, meaning the factory catalytic converter stays in the system. That's deliberate — on a diesel ute the cat is the emissions hardware the compliance question hinges on, and leaving it in place keeps the Colorado closer to how it left the factory. The trade-off versus a cat-delete is honesty over outright flow, and for a daily-driven RG that's usually the sensible call.

Is it road legal in NSW?

Because the SSMKHN0009 retains the catalytic converter, it leaves the key emissions equipment in place rather than removing it. That's the with-cat path, which is the road-minded option for a registered ute. Confirm the exact build and any current state requirements with the workshop before you commit, since rules and individual vehicle setups vary.

Common questions

Does the SSMKHN0009 fit my DPF Colorado?
No — this one is listed for the non-DPF RG 2.8L built between 2012 and August 2016, before the particulate filter arrived. Confirm your exact build with the workshop before ordering.
Is the catalytic converter retained?
Yes. This is the with-cat turbo-back, so the factory catalytic converter stays in the system.
What size is the pipework?
It's a 3in turbo-back, stepped up from the factory tube and sized for the 2.8L engine rather than tailpipe-only.
