LRT K947 Manifolds

LRT K947 Manifolds

The LRT K947 Manifold is a high‑performance exhaust manifold designed for the Volkswagen Transporter T5, Touareg, and Multivan series. Crafted from durable cast iron, it delivers superior heat resistance and structural integrity, ensuring reliable operation under demanding engine loads.

Key Features

• Material Excellence: Made from premium cast‑iron alloy that withstands extreme temperatures without warping or cracking.
• Optimized Flow Geometry: Precision‑engineered channels reduce backpressure, enhancing exhaust scavenging and improving engine efficiency.
• Robust Mounting System: Includes a complete installation kit with brackets, bolts, and gaskets for secure fitment on the T5/Touareg/Multivan chassis.
• Compatibility: Specifically tailored to match the engine layout of the 2.5 TDI powertrain found in VW Transporter T5, Touareg, and Multivan models from 2004‑2010.
• Durability: Designed for long service life with resistance to corrosion and thermal fatigue.

Installation Overview

The installation process is straightforward thanks to the included mounting hardware. First, remove the existing manifold by loosening the bolts that secure it to the engine block. Next, clean all mating surfaces to ensure a proper seal. Position the new LRT K947 Manifold and attach it using the supplied brackets and torque‑controlled fasteners. Finally, apply high‑temperature gasket material and reattach the exhaust pipe sections.

Performance Benefits

By reducing exhaust backpressure, the LRT K947 Manifold allows for smoother gas flow out of the cylinders. This results in:

• Improved throttle response and acceleration.
• Higher horsepower potential at low to mid RPM ranges.
• Enhanced fuel efficiency due to more efficient combustion.
• Reduced exhaust system noise through optimized flow paths.

Maintenance Tips

Regular inspection of the manifold is recommended, especially after extended high‑temperature operation. Look for:

• Cracks or fissures in the cast iron body.
• Loose bolts or degraded gasket seals.
• Signs of corrosion on mounting surfaces.

Replacing worn components promptly preserves the manifold’s integrity and ensures continued performance gains.
