MPI Automotive Holden Commodore VU VY VZ V8 Ute 2.5in Dual With Extractors Muffler/Muffler.
Category: Extractors and headers


The MPI Automotive SSMKHN0229 is the street-sized 2.5in dual for the VU-VY-VZ V8 ute — tube extractors, a twin 2.5in run and a muffler each side. It's the everyday-driver spec for the early ute, sized for response and damped front to back.
A 2.5in dual is the street-oriented sizing for these Holden V8s. Paired pipes keep gas speed up for low-down and mid-range response — the part of the rev range a daily-driven ute spends most of its time in — while still flowing more than the factory single-bank plumbing. On a road-driven VU–VZ ute that's typically the more useful trade than chasing the biggest possible bore.
It's a complete extractor-back system, not headers alone. Tube-and-merge extractors replace the cast factory manifolds at the heads — the main breathing restriction on these V8s — then the system runs as a matched 2.5in dual and finishes through a rear muffler each side. The upgrade runs from the engine all the way back, at an RRP of $4,828.96. MPI Automotive lists no material or wall thickness here.
A silencer on each bank gives the most damping of the rear options, so the SSMKHN0229 carries a fuller, more controlled note. Combined with the response-minded 2.5in dual, that makes it an easy build to live with day to day — louder than stock, but not raucous. No sound figure is published; this is a relative description.
Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits MPI extractor systems in-house across the Illawarra. The SSMKHN0229 is listed to fit the VU-VY-VZ V8 ute; as a major-spend item we check your exact series and rear hanger layout before ordering, since detail varies across VU, VY and VZ. Send your build and we'll book the bay.
