Vintage Speed Exhaust Header Pipes - With Heat Risers

These Vintage Speed 233 headers with integrated heat risers are designed for classic Volkswagen aircooled models running a Vintage Speed exhaust system and a single carburettor setup. Suitable for VW Beetle (1950–1979), T2 Split Bus (1950–1967) and T2 Baywindow Bus (1968–1979), these headers provide an ideal balance of performance, drivability, and period-correct appearance.

The built-in heat risers play a vital role in regulating intake temperatures by warming the inlet manifold, helping to prevent carburettor icing and improve fuel atomisation—especially in cooler or damp driving conditions. This results in smoother cold starts, improved throttle response, and more consistent engine performance. Designed specifically to complement Vintage Speed exhaust systems, the 233 header ensures correct exhaust flow and reliable long-term operation.

Manufactured to Vintage Speed’s high-quality standards, these headers are an excellent choice for restored vehicles, touring builds, and daily-driven classics where reliability and efficiency are just as important as performance.
