Frequently Asked Questions
Will this suit my AU Falcon XR8 sedan?
Yes — MKFD0049 is specifically engineered for the Ford Falcon AU 5.0L V8 XR8 sedan with a live axle rear suspension. If you have an IRS model, this system will not fit — call us on 1800 069 965 and we'll find the right system for your build.
How do I know if my AU Falcon has live axle or IRS?
The AU Falcon was available with both live axle and IRS rear suspension depending on the build variant. A quick way to check is to look under the rear of the car — a live axle has a solid beam connecting both rear wheels, while IRS has independent suspension components on each side. If you're unsure, call us on 1800 069 965 before ordering.
Is this a complete system — do I need to buy anything else?
Yes — MKFD0049 is a complete engine-back system. It includes extractors (FX-201), high flow cat assemblies (SSMBC201), Y-pipe (MBY325), centre muffler (MBM326MF), rear muffler (MBM327MF), and all required gaskets and bolts. Nothing else is needed for a complete installation.
What's the difference between engine-back and cat-back?
A cat-back system starts from the catalytic converter and includes only the pipework and mufflers behind it. An engine-back system starts from the extractors at the engine and includes everything — extractors, cats, pipes, and mufflers — giving you a complete, matched system from front to back.
Is this an Australian made product?
Yes — Manta exhaust systems are designed and manufactured in Australia, purpose-built for Australian vehicles and conditions.
What is the warranty on this product?
MKFD0049 comes with a full manufacturer's warranty from the date of invoice. Your tax invoice is provided with your order.
Will I need a tune after fitting?
We recommend a tune after fitting a full engine-back system including extractors to get the best performance gains from the upgrade. Speak with your installer about tuning options.
