VW still can supply many exhaust parts through commercial vehicle parts counters
Just Kampers version around £270
Stainless - Suppliers JP Exhausts Full system in stainless £611.00 fitted (£100 to fit)
RAY: I had one from JP and fitted myself, although after just having a new engine fitted there was no trouble with manifold bolts etc. Oh and new silencer brackets made it easier too. Well pleased with mine £550 though (Syncro).
Jed: I payed £580 for my twin outlet shiney tailpipe badboy and was custom made and fitted in a day by Longlife
Fritz: I managed to find an alternative to the ones on offer to suit a 1.9 or the 2.1 motors for a mere 400 quid or so from LA Performance, looks great and sounds just a bit different than the norm...
Short oil filter may be required when fitted to the 2.1 LAP Zorst
GSF Part Nos 1.9 and 2.1 petrols
Diesels: These are harder to acquire... VW prices are quite high, esp for silencers. Since many diesels have alt engines now, many exhaust are custom made, or adapted. The importnat bit to keep in a TD is the downpipe (for the turbo flange fitting), which is the starting point very often.
Stainless Systems & Where To Buy Them
From 80/90 member Cruz:
These are for the most common watercooled 1.9 and 2.1 petrol engines and are not in any particular order
First of all you need to find out what exhaust system you have. Is it the early type or the late type? If your van was registered in 1985 don't go off your registration year as your van may have been built earlier than 1985.
The early exhaust was from 1980-1985 and the silencer is unsupported The late exhaust was from 1985-1992 and the silencer is larger and supported by two saddles
The attached images at the bottom of this post show what the two types look like as you may have a post 1985 van where the tightwad previous owner fitted an pre-85 exhaust system. :wink:
Standard mild steel Exhaust
Standard mild steel Early and late exhaust systems available from
1) Justkampers - Exhaust system bundle packs available
2) German Swedish and French Car Parts (GSF)
Late DG/DJ Stainless Exhaust Systems
1) Brickwerks seln exact stainless steel copy of the original late exhaust system. You can change the whole system or just the parts that you need at that time depending on your budget.
2) Jp Exhausts sell as well as fit their own late exhaust version.
3) Turbo Thomas sell their version of the late exhaust system
4) It is also an option to fit the vwspeedshop early style exhaust system (see below for web details)
Early DG/DF Exhaust System solutions
1) VW Speedshop sell a stainless system that will fit both early and late vans.
2) Brickwerks are currently developing replica early stainless steel exhaust systems in consultation with their supplier. As this system will be the same as the original system you will have the option to change the whole system or piecemeal to suit your budget.
When they become available it will most likely be posted on the Brickwerks facebook page
3) Consult your local Longlife Exhaust Centre to see if they will build you a custom exhaust
4) Some members have reported that Turbothomas supply early stainless exhaust systems.
5) Fit the late style stainless exhaust to your early van. The silencer needs supporting on the late system so the parts required are 2nd hand Engine Mount (025-199-221A) and longer M10x85 bolts, Silencer Saddles and straps . (Stainless from Brickwerks or 2nd hand VW originals)
If I have missed anything (most likely) let me know
Custom Alternative Options
