Type 25 Stainless Exhaust Manifold (Cylinder 1 To 3) - 1986-92 - 2100cc Waterboxer (DJ Engine Code)

This stainless steel exhaust front pipe fits between cylinders 1 and 3 on Volkswagen Type 25 / T3 buses manufactured from 1986 to 1992, fitted with 2100cc DJ, MV, SS and SR Waterboxer petrol engines.

Positioned at the front of the exhaust system, this pipe joins the exhaust outlets from cylinders 1 and 3 and routes gases towards the front muffler section. Maintaining correct alignment and internal diameter at this point is essential for smooth exhaust flow, balanced back pressure, and proper engine performance on 2.1 Waterboxer engines.

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

Formed to match the late 2.1 Waterboxer exhaust layout, this pipe is a direct-fit replacement, aligning correctly with the cylinder head outlets, front muffler section, and original mounting points for straightforward installation without modification.
