The MPI Automotive SSMKTY0398 keeps the catalytic converter while running no rear muffler — a 4in turbo-back listed to fit the Toyota VDJ79 V8 4.5L turbo-diesel ute from 2016, with a single side-exit tailpipe. Retaining the cat is the key difference: it leaves the emissions hardware the ute left the factory with in place.

Why keep the cat but delete the muffler?

The SSMKTY0398 pairs a retained catalytic converter with a muffler-delete, so you get the harder, less-restricted note of a no-muffler run while the factory cat stays bolted in. That cat is the part the regulator cares about on a diesel ute, which makes this a very different proposition from the cat-delete versions in the same range.

What does the 4in turbo-back cover?

Turbo-back means the run is replaced from the turbo outlet rearward in a single 4in bore, sized for the 4.5L V8 diesel. The stainless construction suits a ute that works hard on dirt and salt, and the single side-exit routes the tailpipe out the side rather than the rear.

Where does it sit on road compliance?

Because the SSMKTY0398 retains the catalytic converter, it keeps the emissions equipment in place — the usual sticking point on diesel utes. That doesn't make it automatically compliant: the muffler-delete and side-exit affect noise and routing, so confirm the exact build and any state requirements with the workshop before fitting.

How does the Illawarra workshop fit it?

Oak Flats Muffler Men fits MPI turbo-back systems like this in our own bay across the Illawarra. It's listed to fit the VDJ79 V8 ute from 2016; send your build and we'll confirm the side-exit clearance and book it in. A 4in with-cat system like this is generally ordered in.

Stocked and fitted by Oak Flats Muffler Men, the Illawarra exhaust and 4x4 specialist in Oak Flats, NSW.

Common questions

Does the SSMKTY0398 keep the catalytic converter?
Yes — this is the with-cat, no-muffler version, so the factory catalytic converter stays in place while the muffler is deleted.
Is it louder than a system with a muffler?
With no rear muffler it gives a harder, less-restricted note than a muffler-equipped version of the same system.
What vehicle is it for?
It's listed to fit the Toyota VDJ79 V8 4.5L turbo-diesel ute from 2016. Confirm your variant with the workshop.
