The MPI Automotive SSMKTY0017 pairs a retained catalytic converter with a compact hotdog — a 3in system for the Toyota Landcruiser VDJ78 V8 Troop Carrier. Keeping the cat while running a straight-through hotdog is the balance this build strikes.

What does a hotdog with the cat retained give you?

This build keeps its catalytic converter and runs a hotdog at the rear. A hotdog is a compact straight-through resonator — it flows freely and lets a harder note through than a chambered muffler, while the retained converter keeps the emissions hardware in the system. The result is a freer-flowing character than a full muffler, but with the converter still in place rather than deleted.

What does retaining the converter mean for legality?

Because the SSMKTY0017 keeps the catalytic converter, it retains the emissions equipment the VDJ78 left the factory with — the part that matters most for compliance on a diesel. That sets it apart from the cat-delete Troop Carrier builds. Confirm the exact build and any state requirements with the workshop before fitting; listed fitment is checked against your vehicle.

What does the 3in bore suit on the Troop Carrier?

At 3in this suits the VDJ78 V8 Troop Carrier owner who wants the larger bore and a freer-flowing hotdog while keeping the converter. The long Troop Carrier body sets the routing, and the compact hotdog suits packaging along that floor.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits VDJ78 systems in-house across the Illawarra. We confirm converter retention, the hotdog position and the Troop Carrier routing before booking the bay.

Common questions

Does the SSMKTY0017 keep the catalytic converter?
Yes — this is the with-cat build, so the factory catalytic converter stays in place alongside a hotdog.
What is the hotdog?
A compact straight-through resonator — freer-flowing and louder than a chambered muffler, suited to the long Troop Carrier body.
Will it fit my VDJ78 Troop Carrier?
It is listed to fit the Toyota Landcruiser VDJ78 V8 Troop Carrier. Confirm your exact build and any state requirements with the workshop before ordering.
