2E0511051F Volkswagen LINK

A link pipe basically connects sections of your exhaust system together. Think of it as a short piece of pipe that joins a longer section, like the downpipe to the muffler, or different sections of the muffler itself. It’s a pretty simple component, just a straight or slightly curved piece of tubing. They come in different diameters to match your exhaust system’s size, and are typically connected using clamps and sometimes gaskets. Its job is to allow exhaust gases to flow smoothly from the engine, through the exhaust system, and out the back. It’s a fundamental part of getting those gases safely away from the passenger cabin and reducing emissions. It doesn’t make the exhaust flow, it just provides a continuous path for it. A leak in a link pipe, or a rusted/broken one, will cause exhaust fumes to escape. You’ll notice if you hear a hissing or rattling sound under the car, especially when the engine is running or you’re accelerating. More importantly, exhaust gases are dangerous – carbon monoxide is odorless and colorless, so you can’t see or smell a leak. A bad link pipe can let those gases into the cabin. Besides safety, a leak affects engine performance – it messes with the back pressure and can cause the engine to run less efficiently. You can find replacements pretty easily, Fixparts Online has a good selection. You don’t want to ignore a problem with these, it's something that needs attention.
