The MPI Automotive SSMKTY0385 keeps the catalytic converter while deleting the rear muffler — the open-but-cat-retained build for the pre-DPF VDJ79 V8 dual cab. It's the stainless, 4in, single-side-exit system, listed to fit the Toyota VDJ79 V8 4.5L turbo-diesel dual cab ute (2012–2016).

What does cat-kept, muffler-deleted give you?

This layout opens the tail by removing the rear muffler, so there's no chambered silencer and the note is louder and harder than a muffled build — but it keeps the catalytic converter, so the emissions hardware stays in place. On the pre-DPF 79 Series that's the choice for an owner who wants the open 4in sound without deleting the cat. The character follows the configuration; there's no sound figure behind the listing for us to quote.

Why the stainless 4in build?

The SSMKTY0385 is stainless steel for corrosion life on a working 79 Series that meets mud, salt and water. It runs the 4in bore MPI lists for it — the large end of the diesel range — out through a single side exit. We state only the 4in figure and the stainless construction recorded for the part; no grade or flow number is invented. Stainless is what separates this from the standard-finish version of the same layout.

How does the side exit suit a dual cab tray ute?

A single side exit takes the tailpipe out ahead of the rear wheel rather than over the back bar — handy on a 79 Series dual cab where tow gear or tray work sits at the rear. It's a packaging decision for this body. We confirm the exit clears your tray and bar setup before fitting.

Is the SSMKTY0385 road legal?

It keeps the catalytic converter, so the emissions hardware that matters for compliance on the pre-DPF VDJ79 stays in place. Deleting the rear muffler is a noise change rather than an emissions one, but it can affect noise compliance — so confirm the exact build and any NSW requirements with the workshop before fitting. Oak Flats Muffler Men fits these in-house across the Illawarra.

Common questions

Does deleting the muffler remove the cat?
No — the SSMKTY0385 keeps the catalytic converter and deletes only the rear muffler. That's a noise change; confirm noise requirements for your build with the workshop.
What does the stainless version add?
It's stainless steel, so it resists corrosion longer under the vehicle. The 4in cat-kept, muffler-deleted, side-exit layout is the same as the standard-finish version.
