Get the best of both worlds—improved exhaust flow and usable heat—with a high-performance flanged heat exchanger.
This Volkswagen left-hand (LH) high-performance heat exchanger is designed for owners who want to retain cabin heat without sacrificing engine performance. Built with larger 1.5" tubing and a lightweight design, it allows improved exhaust flow compared to stock heater boxes while still supporting your heater and defrost system.
