Land Rover Part Number: ESR1617 - Front Exhaust Downpipe
ESR1617 is a front exhaust downpipe. This pipe carries exhaust gases from the engine's exhaust manifold into the vehicle's main exhaust system on 2.5 naturally aspirated diesel Defender models. The front exhaust downpipe forms the first rigid section of the underbody exhaust system directly after the engine exhaust manifold, transferring combustion gases into the centre and rear sections while providing the correct flange and hanger interfaces for a secure underbody mount. Correct alignment maintains exhaust routing, underbody clearance and the seal at the manifold face; on 2.5 litre naturally aspirated Defender applications this downpipe locates to vehicle-specific hangers and flange patterns, so matching the correct pipe for the VIN range is required for a straightforward installation. The component also presents the mating surface for the exhaust gasket and supports any downstream sensors or fittings found on the vehicle's exhaust run.
