Manta Exhaust Systems for the Volkswagen Amarok
The Amarok TDI400 and TDI420 2.0L bi-turbo ute from June 2012 is a popular 4x4 for towing and touring. Manta replaces the exhaust from the turbo face with a 3 inch system complete with a diesel-specific catalytic converter and straight-through muffler. Choose a short original-style exit or an extended tailpipe out the rear, or the DPF pipe-only option that bolts to the factory exhaust.
Exhaust and ECU Tune Combinations
Manta reports that combining the exhaust with an ECU performance tune can lift power by 20 to 40 percent, and that fuel consumption usually falls because the engine works more efficiently. Treat these as manufacturer claims, since results depend on the vehicle, its condition and the tune. Pricing on the listings is for the exhaust only, so speak to a qualified tuner about any recalibration.
Choosing and Fitting an Amarok Exhaust
Amaroks have been sold with more than one diesel engine, so confirm yours is the 2.0L bi-turbo before ordering. A turbo-back system replaces the factory filter and needs recalibration, and compliance depends on your vehicle, its installation and state or territory rules. Compare 4x4 exhaust systems and performance 4x4 exhausts, read our exhaust system types guide, and add flex bellows or exhaust gaskets as needed. Book professional fitting through our exhaust fitting page.
Materials, Tailpipe Style and Warranty
Systems are offered in aluminised or stainless steel, and Manta states longer cover on stainless than aluminised, although terms vary by part number. Decide between the short original-style exit and the extended tailpipe out the rear based on how you use the vehicle, because towing and accessories can influence which is practical. Replace worn exhaust rubbers during installation, and see our delivery information page for shipping details.
