The authentic OEM Exhaust Pipe Tip (Part Number 3D0253682E) is an essential component located on the right side of the exhaust system in the Volkswagen Phaeton, specifically designed for 2004 to 2006 models equipped with the 4.2L V8 or 6.0L W12 engines. This finish pipe, also known as a tail pipe extension or pipetip, plays a crucial role in directing exhaust gases out of the vehicle, thereby supporting optimal engine performance and emissions control. Common scenarios that necessitate replacement include corrosion, damage from road debris, or wear over time, which can lead to increased exhaust noise or inefficiencies in the exhaust flow. Ensuring your exhaust pipe tip is intact helps maintain the integrity of the overall exhaust system. This part fits seamlessly with various associated components such as the muffler and catalytic converter, ensuring that all exhaust gases are expelled safely from the vehicle. Alternative part numbers include 4E0616095A, 3D0253409G, and 3D0253609AA for cross-reference.
