Milltek Filter-back Exhaust for Volkswagen Transporter \ Caravelle T5 SWB 1.9 TDi (85ps & 104ps) 2WD and 4MOTION (2003-2009) – Sharper Sound, Filter Retained
This is Milltek's particulate filter-back system for the Volkswagen Transporter \ Caravelle T6 SWB 150/180/204PS 2.0-Litre BiTDI 2WD and 4MOTION. It replaces everything downstream of the factory diesel or petrol particulate filter with wider-bore pipework and re-tuned silencers, cutting back pressure and sharpening the exhaust note. The filter itself is left exactly where the manufacturer fitted it, so emissions equipment is unaffected. It's offered in non-resonated or resonated versions and 4 tailpipe finishes, so you can pick the setup that suits how the car's used.
It's the right choice if you want a sportier sound and a genuine, if modest, flow improvement on a filter-equipped car, without going anywhere near the parts of the system that keep it emissions-compliant.

Installation
We recommend professional fitting on a ramp. Once fitted, check the tailpipe alignment and re-check all clamps after the first few hundred miles.
What's the difference between the resonated and non-resonated versions?
The resonated version adds extra silencing for a quieter, more refined tone. The non-resonated version leaves it out, so it is louder and more aggressive.
Which tailpipe finishes are available?
You can choose from: Discrete Tailpipe, Twin Black Oval, Twin Oval, Cerakote Black Oval. The finish is cosmetic and does not change the sound.

Does it fit the Volkswagen Transporter \ Caravelle T5 LWB 1.9 TDi (85ps & 104ps) 2WD and 4MOTION?

Is it road legal?
Milltek does not list EC approval for this part. Any exhaust used on the road must still meet noise and emissions rules, so check the requirements where you live.
Do I need a remap?

Does it keep the factory particulate filter?
Yes. It fits behind the factory particulate filter, which stays in place.
