This is a standard-replacement centre muffler with broad Toyota fitment: the TOYOTA-HILUX-KUN26R-3-0L-TGN16R-2-7L-02-05-06-15-PRADO-90SERIES-3-0L-96-03-STAND from Exhaust Systems Australia is listed for the Hilux KUN26R 3.0L, TGN16R 2.7L and the 90-series Prado 3.0L, restoring the factory centre silencer.
What does the centre muffler cover?
Sitting mid-system rather than at the tail, this standard-replacement centre muffler does the middle stage of silencing. It's a like-for-like box made to drop into the factory location and restore the original note, listed across the Hilux KUN26R 3.0L, the TGN16R 2.7L and the 90-series Prado 3.0L. It's the part you fit when the centre box has rusted or blown. The bore isn't published, so we confirm it against your vehicle at fitting.
How does a centre muffler shape the note?
A muffler quietens by absorbing and reflecting sound inside its body, and in the centre position it works with the rear of the system rather than setting the final tailpipe sound alone. As a standard-replacement box it's tuned to the factory note, so it restores the original quiet character rather than changing it — the right choice after the old centre muffler has failed.
Will it suit my Hilux or Prado?
It's listed across the Toyota Hilux KUN26R 3.0L, TGN16R 2.7L and the 90-series Prado 3.0L, spanning the 02–05 and 06–15 Hilux ranges and the 96–03 Prado. Because the same centre box covers several models, confirm your exact engine code and year with the workshop before ordering.
