Holden Commodore VE Ute & Maloo V8 3in Catback Hotdog/Muffler.
Category: Mufflers and resonators


At 3in, the MPI Automotive SSMKHN0197 is the larger-bore cat-back in this VE Ute family - listed to fit the Holden Commodore VE Ute and Maloo V8 and finished with a hotdog. The 3in bore is the headline: it's the bigger pipe size aimed at the V8 ute rather than a stock-diameter replacement, paired with a compact hotdog resonator.
Bore is the choice that sets this one apart. At 3in it's the larger-diameter cat-back for the VE Commodore Ute and Maloo V8, giving the gas more room from the cat back than the factory pipe allowed - the size you'd reach for on the bigger-output V8 ute rather than a milder build.
This SSMKHN0197 finishes through a hotdog - a compact straight-through resonator. It trims harshness and tunes the note without the bulk of a large chambered muffler, keeping flow free and the V8 character present. That hotdog spec is the silencing choice that distinguishes it within the family.
A cat-back replaces the exhaust from the catalytic converter rearward, leaving the factory cat upstream untouched. On the VE Ute that's the section from the cat back through the hotdog, so the emissions hardware stays where Holden put it.
