Holden Commodore VE V8 Sedan Wagon 2.5in Catback Hotdog/Muffler.
Category: Mufflers and resonators


The MPI Automotive SSMKHN0167 pairs a 2.5in cat-back with a hotdog resonator for the Holden Commodore VE V8 Sedan and Wagon. The hotdog leads here — a compact straight-through device that frees the rear of the system and sharpens the note without a full chambered muffler.
A hotdog is a short straight-through resonator: gas runs straight through a perforated core wrapped in packing, rather than being reflected through baffles. That makes it freer-flowing and harder-edged than a chambered muffler, and its small body packages easily under the VE floor. It's the choice when you want a more open note from the cat-back back.
At 2.5in this is the keener-bore option for the VE V8, sized to keep gas speed up on a near-stock or lightly modified engine. It's the sensible size when outright top-end flow isn't the goal and you'd rather keep mid-range response. We state only the 2.5in diameter MPI lists for this part — nothing inferred.
The SSMKHN0167 is listed to fit the Commodore VE V8 in Sedan and Wagon form. The bodies differ at the rear, and this listing covers both. Confirm your exact VE variant and rear-end layout with the workshop before ordering so the fit is right.
We supply and fit this MPI hotdog section in-house in the Illawarra, checking the cat-back flange, hangers and clearance against your VE first. It's typically a special order at this price, so send your build and we'll confirm availability and lead time before booking the bay.
