Land Rover Part Number: ESR2297 - Exhaust Downpipe - De-cat - Manual Transmission - 300Tdi
ESR2297 is an exhaust downpipe (de-cat) for manual-transmission 300Tdi Defender models. Fitted between the exhaust manifold and the remainder of the exhaust system where no catalytic converter is present, it matches the manifold flange, mounting arrangement and hanger positions used on manual-gearbox vehicles. When replacing this downpipe fit the manifold-to-downpipe gasket, part number ESR3260, and ensure the pipe aligns with its mounting points and hangers to prevent exhaust leaks or undue stress on adjacent components.
