Cat in, hotdog at the rear: the MPI Automotive SSMKIZ0039 is the with-cat, hotdog-equipped turbo-back for the Isuzu MU-X 3.0L (2017–2025). It keeps the factory emissions hardware while a compact resonator gives the diesel a deeper voice — the road-minded middle of the MU-X range.

Cat retained for a road-minded build

This SKU keeps the factory catalytic converter, leaving the emissions hardware the MU-X left the factory with in place — the usual sticking point for a diesel ute. Pairing the retained cat with a hotdog rather than an open rear makes this the most road-minded of the configurations, though keeping the cat does not by itself make a system compliant, so confirm the exact build and any state requirements with the workshop first.

How the hotdog shapes the note

A hotdog is a compact straight-through resonator: exhaust runs through a perforated core in packing, trimming the hard edge and some drone without the reflection of a full muffler. On the MU-X it gives a deeper tone than a muffler build while staying restrained next to an open system — the choice for owners who want more character without the loudest result.

Where the turbo-back sits on the DPF MU-X

A turbo-back replaces the run from the turbo outlet rearward, a longer span than a cat-back, and on the 2017–2025 MU-X it covers the DPF-back plumbing around the factory diesel particulate filter location. MPI Automotive lists the SSMKIZ0039 at $2838.51, generally ordered in to suit your year and build.

Common questions

Does it keep the catalytic converter?
Yes — this is the with-cat turbo-back, so the factory catalytic converter stays in place, paired with a hotdog at the rear.
How does the hotdog sound?
Deeper and slightly harder than a full muffler, but more restrained than an open system. We can compare it with the muffler or open builds for your MU-X.
