Product Details

The EMPI JP Group B2-0461-0 is a performance exhaust header for 1966-1979 Volkswagen Beetle models when equipped with a Baja kit. It is built from stainless steel for corrosion resistance and a clean, uniform appearance, while the 1 5/8-inch primary tube size supports freer exhaust movement than a restrictive stock manifold. The slip-fit collector design simplifies exhaust connection, and the included gasket or seal helps support a proper sealing surface during assembly. This header is a direct-fit style solution for Baja Beetle exhaust system builds where round-port, performance-oriented hardware is required.

JP Group is the product line associated with this EMPI part, and B2-0461-0 is identified within that line for Baja Beetle exhaust applications. If you are searching for a stainless steel exhaust header for a Volkswagen Beetle Baja kit build, this part number is the reference to use.

Installation Notes

Confirm Baja kit clearance and exhaust routing before installation, since this header is listed specifically for Volkswagen Beetle models equipped with a Baja kit.

Because there is no oxygen sensor port, this header is intended for applications that do not require an O2 sensor bung.
