The MPI Automotive SSMKIZ0036 is the cat-delete, hotdog build for the Isuzu MU-X 3.0L (June 2012 – Jan 2017). Removing the catalytic converter while keeping a hotdog resonator is its defining combination — freer flow with a compact resonator managing the note.

What does the cat-delete with hotdog change?

On the 2012–2017 MU-X 3.0L this build removes the catalytic converter, taking the converter restriction out, and keeps a hotdog — a compact straight-through resonator — to trim the drone. That gives freer flow than a with-cat version while the hotdog keeps the note tidier than a bare pipe. The trade-off is a compliance one, covered below.

Is it road legal?

Because the SSMKIZ0036 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. The hotdog manages drone but does not change that status. This is an off-road or property build, not for a registered road vehicle.

What's the hotdog for on a wagon like the MU-X?

A hotdog cuts the worst of the drone without the bulk or restriction of a full muffler, which matters in a wagon body where cabin noise carries. It keeps flow high while making the note more liveable than a straight delete.

What does fitting involve in the Illawarra?

Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits this section for the 2012–2017 MU-X 3.0L at our Illawarra workshop. It's listed to fit the Isuzu MU-X of this era; we'll confirm the build, go through the off-road-only status, and check the hotdog 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 SSMKIZ0036 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.
What does the hotdog do?
It's a compact straight-through resonator that cuts drone while keeping flow high — quieter than a bare delete, freer than a full muffler.
Will it fit my MU-X?
It's listed to fit the Isuzu MU-X 3.0L from June 2012 to Jan 2017. Confirm your build with the workshop first.
