The MPI Automotive SSMKIZ0018 is the cat-delete turbo-back that runs a muffler for the DPF Isuzu MU-X 3.0L (Jan 2017 – 2025). Pairing a full turbo-back span and cat-delete with a rear muffler is its defining mix — freer flow than a with-cat run, with the muffler keeping the note controlled.

What does this turbo-back configuration cover?

A turbo-back replaces the exhaust from the turbo outlet rearward — a longer span than a cat-back, where a 3.0L diesel frees up. This version deletes the catalytic converter for freer flow but keeps a muffler, so on the DPF MU-X the note stays more subdued than a hotdog or bare delete. It's the quietest of the cat-delete turbo-backs for this wagon.

Is it road legal?

Because the SSMKIZ0018 deletes the catalytic converter on the MU-X's diesel system, it is not ADR 79/04 compliant for road registration in NSW and is intended for off-road use only. Keeping a muffler controls the note but does not change that compliance status. This is an off-road or property build, not for a registered road vehicle.

Why keep a muffler on a cat-delete?

A muffler-equipped delete suits owners who want the freer flow of removing the cat but without the louder character of a hotdog or no-muffler run. In a wagon body like the MU-X the muffler keeps cabin drone down on the highway, which matters more than in an open ute.

What does fitting involve in the Illawarra?

Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits turbo-back systems for the 2017–2025 DPF MU-X 3.0L at our Illawarra workshop. It's listed to fit the Isuzu MU-X; we'll confirm the build, go through the off-road-only status, and check the turbo match, muffler clearance and joins first.

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

Common questions

Is the SSMKIZ0018 road legal?
No. It deletes the catalytic converter, so it is not ADR 79/04 compliant for road registration in NSW and is intended for off-road use only.
Is it quieter than the hotdog versions?
It runs a full muffler rather than a hotdog, so it's the more subdued of the cat-delete turbo-backs — though we can't quote a decibel figure.
Will it fit my MU-X?
It's listed to fit the DPF Isuzu MU-X 3.0L from Jan 2017 to 2025. Confirm your build with the workshop first.
