Manta 3in Turbo Back Exhaust - Volkswagen Amarok 2H TDI400 TDI420 2.0L Bi-Turbo Diesel 2011-2012

The first of the 2.0L bi-turbo Amaroks, built between June 2011 and June 2012, before Volkswagen changed the plumbing. Same systems and the same choice of rear exit as the later cars, but a different kit - make sure the build date on your compliance plate falls inside this window, because the two do not interchange. Read the note below on the DPF before you order.

Choosing your system

• DPF Replacement - With Cat — replaces the DPF section and keeps a catalytic converter in the system. Off-road and competition use only.
• Turbo Back (dump at diff) — everything behind the turbo, exiting ahead of the rear diff. Short, tucked up and out of the way on a ute that sees real terrain.
• Turbo Back (extended tailpipe) — everything behind the turbo, with the tailpipe carried past the diff to a conventional rear exit.

Before you order — the DPF

Both turbo-back systems here start ahead of the factory DPF, so the filter is replaced rather than retained - as is the DPF Replacement option. On a road-registered vehicle that is not legal in any Australian state and it may affect your warranty. Give us a call before you order if you are not sure which side of that line your build sits on.

Aluminised or stainless

• Stainless Steel — 409 stainless. Worth the jump if you live near the coast, spend time in mud and dust, or do river crossings. It will comfortably outlast the ute.
• Aluminised Steel — Manta's standard. Aluminium-silicon coated steel, pressed and mandrel-bent the same as the stainless, and it will give you years of service in normal conditions. Best value of the two.

How loud do you want it

• Quiet — the most muffling Manta offers. Deeper and cleaner than factory, but still civil on a long highway run.
• Medium — a resonator in place of one of the mufflers. More note when you get into it, without the drone that ruins a road trip.

Fitment

Volkswagen Amarok 2H/TDI400/TDI420, 2.0L Bi-Turbo TDI, 2011 to 2012. Bolts to the factory mounting points and uses the standard hangers — no cutting or welding.

3in pipe throughout, and every bend is mandrel-formed. A mandrel bend holds its full diameter around the corner instead of crushing down the way press-bent tube does, which is the whole point of fitting a bigger system in the first place.
