A hotdog resonator sets the MPI Automotive SSMKHN0371 apart: it tunes the note of the long-wheelbase Holden Colorado RC 3.0L (2008-2010) with a compact straight-through unit while leaving the catalytic converter in place.

Why does this build use a hotdog rather than a muffler?

The hotdog is the deciding feature. It's a short, straight-through resonator — gas flows through a perforated core rather than around chambers — so it dials back the harshest part of the diesel note without the heavier restriction or absorption of a full muffler. On the Colorado RC 3.0L that lands a fuller, more characterful tone than a quiet road build, while staying more composed than an open muffler-delete. It's the voicing for an owner who wants presence without a constant highway drone.

What does the long-wheelbase RC fitment cover?

This is the LWB system for the longer-chassis Colorado RC of the 2008-2010 era named in the listing. The wheelbase fixes the underbody pipe lengths and where the hangers sit, so a long-wheelbase part won't share geometry with the short-wheelbase trucks. It's listed specifically to the long-wheelbase RC.

Is it road legal?

The SSMKHN0371 retains the catalytic converter, so the emissions component that usually governs road compliance on a diesel ute stays in place. The hotdog is a sound-tuning device, not an emissions change. Confirm the exact build and any state requirements with the workshop before fitting.

What's involved in fitting it at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits this MPI Automotive system in-house across the Illawarra. We check the cat join, set the hotdog and hangers for the long-wheelbase routing, and verify the fitment against your Colorado before sign-off. The supplier RRP is AUD 3,108.96; as a special-order item we bring it in once the LWB fitment is confirmed.

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

Common questions

What is the hotdog on the SSMKHN0371?
A compact straight-through resonator that softens the note while keeping flow free — quieter than an open tail but freer than a full muffler.
Does it retain the catalytic converter?
Yes. This is the with-cat build; the converter stays and the hotdog tunes the note behind it.
Which Colorado is it for?
The long-wheelbase Holden Colorado RC 3.0L (2008-2010). Confirm your wheelbase and build with the workshop.
