Mitsubishi ASX Exhaust System: OEM Part Number
| Front pipe with catalytic converter (petrol) | Genuinely a different part from the diesel front pipe below — confirm your exact engine code before ordering |
|---|---|
| Front pipe with diesel particulate filter (diesel, where fitted) | A genuinely different assembly from the petrol cat pipe, combining catalytic and particulate filtration in one unit |
| Centre/intermediate pipe | A genuinely separate section from both the front pipe and rear silencer |
| Rear silencer, front-wheel drive | A genuinely different silencer and mounting arrangement applies versus AWD variants — the underbody routing differs enough that the two aren't interchangeable |
| Rear silencer, AWD | A genuinely different silencer and mounting from the front-wheel-drive version above, to clear the rear differential and driveshaft routing |
Mitsubishi ASX Exhaust System: The Part That Announces Its Own Problems
On the Mitsubishi ASX, most faults are things you'd spot visually first, but this one usually announces itself acoustically — a rattle, a drone, a noticeable jump in noise levels. That's actually helpful, since it means you'll likely notice trouble well before it gets serious.
Mitsubishi ASX Exhaust System: What It Does
Three jobs happen inside the Mitsubishi ASX's exhaust system: routing burnt gases away from the engine, quieting them through the silencer, and treating emissions via a catalytic converter and particulate filter. Petrol and diesel variants often need completely different systems to meet their respective emissions requirements.

A Genuinely Useful Piece of Context Worth Knowing About Mitsubishi's DPF History — Mitsubishi ASX Exhaust System
If you're cross-shopping against a diesel Outlander or L200, this is genuinely worth knowing: documented cases describe DPF faults returning shortly after replacement, in at least one case traced to technicians accidentally damaging the turbo boost pipe during the original repair work, rather than the replacement part itself being faulty. This doesn't directly affect this specific model, but is worth knowing as context if you ever face a similar recurring DPF issue.
It's also worth knowing that an EGR valve sticking open can cause excessive soot accumulation that then gets misdiagnosed as a DPF fault specifically, and that a low or empty DPF additive fluid level can trigger warning lights that look identical to a genuine filter fault.
