Volkswagen Kombi Extractor, 1700 - 2L Motor, Includes a Muffler (SKU: FX-857) Engineered for a wide range
Category: Extractors and headers


The MPI Automotive FX-857 is an extractor set listed to fit the Volkswagen Kombi with the 2L motor, and it includes a muffler. It replaces the factory exhaust manifold and carries through to the rear silencer.
The FX-857 is a header for the air-cooled Volkswagen 2L, and unusually for an extractor it comes with a muffler — so it's both the front section off the engine and the silencer behind it. Extractors swap the cast factory manifold for tuned-length tubing to reduce back-pressure, while the included muffler keeps the note in check rather than wide open. We can't publish power or sound figures, because the supplier doesn't.
On a Kombi the exhaust hangs at the back behind the engine. An extractor replaces the factory manifold with separate tubes that merge before the muffler. Because the FX-857 bundles the muffler, it covers more of the system than a bare header would, which can simplify a tidy rear-of-engine rebuild on these vans.
It's listed to fit the Volkswagen 2L Kombi motor. The exact build years aren't published by the supplier, so confirm your specific Kombi and engine with the workshop before ordering. We treat fitment as 'listed to fit' rather than guaranteed.
Oak Flats Muffler Men fits Kombi extractors in-house. We check how the header and supplied muffler sit behind the engine and clear the body. Send your Kombi's details and we'll confirm the FX-857 and book the bay.
