How does this differ from the tailpipe-only IRS version?

This SSMKHN0285TC adds a muffler to the 2.5in run for a quieter result; the tailpipe-only listing is more open.

Will it suit a live-axle Statesman?

No — it's bent for the independent rear suspension. Confirm your rear end with the workshop first.

Do you supply and fit?

Yes — Oak Flats Muffler Men does both in-house across the Illawarra after confirming your build.

The MPI Automotive SSMKHN0285TC is the muffled IRS version for the Holden VP/VR/VS Statesman V8, running tube extractors into a 2.5in system with a muffler. It's the independent-rear-suspension variant that adds a muffler for a quieter result than a straight tailpipe finish.

Why the IRS-specific routing?

The VP/VR/VS Statesman's independent rear suspension changes the clearances the rear pipework has to respect. The SSMKHN0285TC is bent for that IRS cradle, so it threads the rear of the car without the clashes a live-axle part would bring. Match the listing to your rear end before ordering.

What does the muffler add?

Over a bare tailpipe finish, this listing carries a muffler in the 2.5in run to keep the V8 note in check. It's the choice for an IRS Statesman owner who wants the cast manifolds gone but the cabin kept comfortable on a longer drive.

What does the 2.5in bore suit?

A 2.5in system keeps gas velocity up across the everyday rev range of a road-driven Statesman V8, favouring response over outright top-end flow. Paired with tube extractors at the head, it opens the path the factory cast manifolds restrict.

How is it fitted in the Illawarra?

Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits this head-back package in-house. It's listed to fit the VP/VR/VS Statesman V8 with IRS; bring the car so we can confirm the rear setup and hangers before booking.

How is it supplied and ordered?

This is a build-specific MPI Automotive package ordered against your confirmed VP/VR/VS Statesman IRS, not a shelf item. The added muffler over the tailpipe-only version is the reason to choose this listing; we confirm the rear setup and the quieter brief before placing the order.

Stocked and fitted by Oak Flats Muffler Men, the Illawarra exhaust and 4x4 specialist in Oak Flats, NSW.
