What’s the Problem You’re Trying to Solve?
Most customers shopping for T5 & T5.1 exhaust parts are facing:
MOT failure due to excessive emissions
Broken or rusted silencers or downpipes
Cracked manifolds or DPF warnings
A loud exhaust or visible leaks
Planning a camper conversion or performance upgrade?
Whether you're dealing with wear and tear or looking to enhance your system with a VW T5 diesel exhaust upgrade, we’ve got you covered with parts that fit right and last longer.
Most exhaust parts are engine-specific, so compatibility depends on:
Model Year – T5 (2003–2009) or T5.1 (2010–2015)
Engine Type – 1.9 TDI, 2.0 TDI, or 2.5 TD
While some items are shared between variants, components like the DPF, catalytic converter, or back box will often differ between models. Be sure to check product descriptions carefully or contact our support team with your engine code or VIN if you’re unsure.
What You Should Know Before Buying
DPFs are not fitted to all models – typically found on 2006 onwards diesel T5s.
Aftermarket exhausts may alter emissions or require remapping – especially on performance builds or camper upgrades.
Check for MOT-compliant parts – look for type-approved catalytic converters and DPFs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I upgrade the VW T5 exhaust system?
Upgrading the exhaust system on your VW T5 can significantly enhance performance, sound, and efficiency. Here’s how to do it:
Select the Right Exhaust System: Choose from a range of options such as cat-back, turbo-back, or full exhaust systems based on your performance needs.
Preparation: Ensure you have all necessary tools, including wrenches, screwdrivers, a jack and jack stands. Park the vehicle on a flat surface and allow the exhaust system to cool completely.
Remove the Old Exhaust: Begin by loosening and removing the bolts connecting the exhaust system to the catalytic converter and removing the hangers and mounts securing the exhaust in place. Carefully remove the old exhaust system.
Install the New Exhaust: Start by positioning the new exhaust system, beginning at the catalytic converter. Secure it with the provided bolts and clamps, ensuring all connections are tight. Attach the exhaust to the hangers and mounts, making sure it is properly aligned.
Check for Leaks: After installation, start the engine and listen for any leaks. Tighten any loose connections as necessary.
Not directly, fitting layouts and brackets often differ. Always match parts to your specific model and engine. For top-quality exhaust systems and components, visit Just Kampers VW T5 Exhaust Systems.
My van failed its MOT on emissions, is it the exhaust?
It could be. A blocked DPF, failed cat, or exhaust leak can cause high emissions. Start by checking for warning lights or physical damage. For top-quality exhaust systems and components, visit Just Kampers VW T5 Exhaust Systems.
Is it worth upgrading my exhaust instead of just replacing it?
Definitely, many owners choose to upgrade for a longer lifespan, improved fuel economy, or better flow, especially when converting their van for travel or towing. For top-quality exhaust systems and components, visit Just Kampers VW T5 Exhaust Systems.
