Listed to fit the Holden Commodore VE V8 in Sedan and Wagon form, the MPI Automotive SSMKHN0170 is a 3in chambered cat-back muffler section. The 3in bore is the headline — the larger Commodore-platform pipe, sized for a V8 that wants more flow than the factory diameter allows.

What does the 3in V8 cat-back cover?

This is the cat-back run for the VE V8 — the section from the catalytic converter back to the tailpipe — in 3in pipe with a chambered muffler. The wider bore is where a V8 frees up over a stock-diameter system, and the muffler keeps the note controlled rather than raucous. It's the engine-appropriate flow upgrade for the VE without touching the emissions hardware ahead of it.

Why a chambered muffler, not a straight-through?

A chambered muffler uses internal baffles to reflect and absorb sound, giving a fuller but more subdued note than a free-flowing straight-through design. On a 3in VE V8 that means a deeper presence at idle and cruise without droning on the highway. There are no published sound figures, so we go by the muffler type rather than a decibel claim.

Sedan or Wagon fitment?

The SSMKHN0170 is listed to fit the Commodore VE V8 in Sedan and Wagon bodies. The two shells route their rear sections differently, and this listing covers both. Confirm your exact VE variant and rear layout with the workshop so the hangers and tailpipe sit correctly.

What's involved fitting it in the Illawarra?

Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits this MPI cat-back in-house. We measure the flange, hanger points and clearance on your VE before booking it in. At this RRP it's generally a special order — send your build and we'll confirm stock and timing.

Common questions

Is the SSMKHN0170 a full system?
It's a cat-back section — from the catalytic converter back — in 3in with a chambered muffler. It's listed to fit the Commodore VE V8; confirm your variant with the workshop.
Does it suit a worked engine?
The 3in bore is the larger of the common sizes, generally chosen for V8s wanting more flow than stock diameter. We'll confirm fitment for your build.
Will it drone on the highway?
It uses a chambered muffler, the more subdued design. We have no decibel data and describe it by type only.
