The MPI Automotive SSMKTY0186 is a 3in turbo-back for the DPF-model Toyota Landcruiser VDJ78 V8 Troopy that keeps the catalytic converter and adds a hotdog resonator. The combination is its signature: cat retained for the emissions side, with a hotdog handling the note instead of a full muffler or an open path.

Cat plus hotdog — what does that mix do?

Keeping the catalytic converter leaves the emissions hardware that matters for road compliance in place, while the hotdog — a compact straight-through resonator — trims the harshest frequencies without the restriction of a baffled muffler. The result is a freer rear path than a full muffler with the converter still doing its job. It is the with-cat hotdog point in the VDJ78 Troopy range.

Where the hotdog sits in the sound spectrum

On this Troopy turbo-back the hotdog is the middle ground: quieter and less harsh than a no-muffler build, but freer-flowing and more characterful than a full muffler. Gas passes through a perforated core wrapped in packing, so it tunes the note rather than heavily damping it. It suits an owner wanting some character without the rawest open setup.

Is it road legal?

Because the SSMKTY0186 retains the factory catalytic converter, it leaves the converter the Troopy left the factory with in place. Confirm your exact DPF-model VDJ78 build and any NSW requirements with the workshop before fitting.

Common questions

Does the SSMKTY0186 keep the catalytic converter?
Yes. This is the with-cat configuration, so the factory catalytic converter stays in place and the system runs a hotdog resonator.
How does the hotdog compare to a muffler?
A hotdog keeps flow freer than a chambered muffler while still softening the note. We do not publish sound figures.
