Type 25 Exhaust Front Pipe - 1986-92 - 1700cc Diesel (KY Engine Code)

This front exhaust pipe is fitted before the exhaust silencer on Volkswagen Type 25 / T3 buses equipped with the 1700cc diesel KY engine. It forms the critical link between the engine exhaust outlet and the front muffler, carrying exhaust gases rearwards while maintaining correct alignment and flow through the system.

Manufactured to original specifications, this pipe ensures proper exhaust routing and correct positioning of the silencer. A worn or corroded front pipe can cause exhaust leaks, excessive noise, loss of performance, and MOT failures. Replacing it restores a gas-tight exhaust system and helps protect downstream components from vibration and stress.

This pipe is designed specifically for KY diesel engines, where exhaust layout differs from other T3 diesel variants.
