The Redback STR116HD is a centre hotdog listed to fit the Holden Commodore VS sedan with a live axle. Two things define it — the hotdog centre, a compact straight-through resonator, and the live-axle fitment it's routed for.

What's a hotdog centre?

A hotdog is a small straight-through resonator: gas passes through a perforated core wrapped in packing, controlling drone and resonance while keeping flow free. The STR116HD uses one as the centre section on the VS sedan, which is the deliberate choice for an owner who wants less mid-pipe restriction and a more present note than a chambered centre muffler would give.

Why the live-axle fitment?

The VS sedan was built with a live rear axle, and the exhaust routing under it differs from an independent-rear car. The STR116HD is shaped to clear that live-axle setup, so confirming your rear end matters — the right centre section sits clean and doesn't foul. A straight-through hotdog also leans toward a harder note than a muffler, since it controls frequency rather than soaking up volume.

Will it suit my VS Commodore?

It's listed to fit the Holden Commodore VS sedan with a live axle. Confirm your body, rear setup and build with the workshop before ordering, because the listing is a guide we verify against the actual car. We'd rather check the axle than have you order the wrong centre piece.

Fitting at our Illawarra workshop

Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits the STR116HD across the Illawarra. We set the hotdog centre in the VS run, check the hangers and the joints to the front and rear sections, and clearance it around the live axle so nothing knocks on suspension travel. If drone control is the goal, that's worth raising when you book.

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

Common questions

What is the hotdog in the STR116HD?
A compact straight-through resonator used as the centre section. It controls drone while keeping flow free, so it's more present than a chambered muffler.
Does it fit independent-rear Commodores?
It's listed for the VS sedan with a live axle. Confirm your rear setup with us before ordering.
Is it louder than a centre muffler?
A straight-through hotdog leans toward a harder note than a chambered muffler. We publish no sound figures.
