Is the SSMKNI0038 road legal?

No — it's supplied without a catalytic converter, so it's not ADR 79/04 compliant for road registration in NSW and is for off-road use only.

Is it a rear muffler?

No — it's the centre hotdog resonator for the GU ute, sitting mid-system rather than at the tail.

Will it fit my 3.0 ute?

It's listed for the 3.0 Nissan Patrol GU ute. Confirm your exact build and intended use with the workshop.

Stock status: In stock at supplier

The MPI Automotive SSMKNI0038 is a centre hotdog resonator for the 3.0 Nissan Patrol GU ute, supplied without a catalytic converter. As a cat-delete centre section it's for off-road use only, with a straight-through hotdog settling mid-system drone.

Is it road legal?

No. The SSMKNI0038 is supplied without a catalytic converter, so on a road-going diesel it is not ADR 79/04 compliant for road registration in NSW and is for off-road use only. Deleting the cat removes the emissions hardware the GU 3.0 needs to be road-compliant — there's no softening that. Talk to the workshop about your intended use before ordering.

What does the centre hotdog do?

A hotdog is a compact straight-through resonator that gas passes through rather than being bounced around chambers. In the centre of the GU ute's run it targets mid-range drone while keeping flow up. It settles the middle of the system rather than reshaping the tailpipe note, suiting an off-road build where the cat has already been removed.

Will it suit my 3.0 GU ute?

It's listed to fit the 3.0 Nissan Patrol GU ute. The GU ran several builds, so confirm your exact variant with the workshop before ordering. We'll check the centre hanger positions and tray clearance against your vehicle.

What does fitting involve in Illawarra?

Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits the SSMKNI0038 in-house across the Illawarra. We position it on the centre hangers, check clearance along the chassis and tray on the ute, and join it square to the pipe either side. Bring the Patrol in and we'll confirm fitment and intended use, then book the bay.
