Type 25 Stainless Exhaust Manifold (Cylinder 1 To 3) - 1986-92 - 1900cc Waterboxer (DF, DG Engine Codes)

This stainless steel exhaust front pipe fits between cylinders 1 and 3, including the carburettor pre-heat take-off, on Volkswagen Type 25 / T3 buses manufactured from 1986 to 1992 and fitted with 1900cc DF or DG Waterboxer petrol engines.

Positioned at the front of the exhaust system, this pipe connects the exhaust outlets from cylinders 1 and 3 and routes exhaust gases towards the front silencer section. The integrated pre-heat connection plays an important role on carburetted engines by supplying warm exhaust gases to the inlet system, helping to prevent carb icing and improve cold-start drivability.

Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, this front exhaust pipe offers excellent resistance to corrosion and heat, making it a long-lasting upgrade over original mild steel components that are prone to rust and failure. Stainless construction is ideal for vehicles used regularly, driven year-round, or stored outdoors.

This pipe is formed to the correct shape for late Waterboxer exhaust layouts and is designed as a direct-fit replacement, aligning correctly with the cylinder head outlets, pre-heat connections, and the rest of the exhaust system.
