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.

Hotdog vs muffler — what changes?

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.

What does 2.5in suit on a VE V8?

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.

Will it fit my Commodore VE?

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.

Common questions

Is the SSMKHN0167 louder than a muffler version?
It uses a hotdog — a straight-through resonator that's freer-flowing and harder-edged than a chambered muffler. We describe sound by type, not decibels.
Does 2.5in suit a stock VE V8?
The 2.5in bore is the keener of the common sizes and suits a near-stock or lightly worked engine. It's listed to fit the Commodore VE V8.
Sedan and Wagon both?
Yes — the listing covers the VE V8 Sedan and Wagon. We'll confirm your rear layout before ordering.
