Exhaust for the Suzuki Ignis
The Ignis sold here as the current Ignis, on sale in South Africa since 2017, so we work from the generation rather than the name on the tailgate to find Suzuki Ignis parts, matched to your car
Used, aftermarket and reconditioned parts. Not supplied by Suzuki Auto South Africa.
How a Ignis exhaust enquiry gets answered
Suzuki's current local range is petrol, so exhaust work here is about catalytic converters and lambda sensors rather than the DPF systems that dominate the diesel marques. Cylinder count is the thing people get wrong: most of the range is a three- or four-cylinder with a single system, but the older Grand Vitara was also sold here as a V6, and a V6 is a different exhaust layout entirely from the manifolds back. The naturally aspirated and turbocharged Vitara derivatives differ from each other too, and the rear-drive Super Carry and Eeco are routed unlike anything else.
The decision in front of you is usually whether the section that has failed can be replaced on its own or whether corrosion has already taken the neighbouring joints with it. To get you a straight answer on it we need the derivative — on a Vitara whether it is the 1.6 or the 1.4 turbo, and on an older Grand Vitara whether it is a four-cylinder or a V6.
The car
Suzuki Ignis, year of manufacture, and the derivative if you know it.
The code
VIN or registration number. A photo of the licence disc works just as well.
The problem
What has failed, or what you need replaced. A photo helps for anything cosmetic.
Ignis Exhaust, component by component
The derivative — on a Vitara whether it is the 1.6 or the 1.4 turbo, and on an older Grand Vitara whether it is a four-cylinder or a V6 will settle most of these. Pick the component and we'll confirm the rest.

The Ignis reached South Africa as the current Ignis, on sale in South Africa since 2017, running K12M 1.2. Exhaust fitment splits on the generation long before it splits on trim. One engine runs across the entire local Ignis range, which makes engine-side sourcing unusually simple for a Suzuki — the variation is in trim, body colour panels and equipment level instead, so the derivative matters more for cosmetic parts than mechanical ones. Find your derivative below, then send the code from the VIN plate with your enquiry.
- Suzuki Ignis 1.2 GL
- Suzuki Ignis 1.2 GL Auto
- Suzuki Ignis 1.2 GLX
- Suzuki Ignis 1.2 GLX Auto

One Ignis, several parts lists — the short explanation
Will one exhaust listing cover every Ignis?
It will not. Any exhaust question for a Ignis starts in the same place: which of the current Ignis, on sale in South Africa since 2017 are we dealing with?One engine runs across the entire local Ignis range, which makes engine-side sourcing unusually simple for a Suzuki — the variation is in trim, body colour panels and equipment level instead, so the derivative matters more for cosmetic parts than mechanical ones.
How do I tell which engine is in mine?
Locally sold cars came with K12M 1.2. Go by the code stamped on the block — the badge on the tailgate settles nothing.
What do you need from me to price exhaust?
The derivative — on a Vitara whether it is the 1.6 or the 1.4 turbo, and on an older Grand Vitara whether it is a four-cylinder or a V6. Suzuki's current local range is petrol, so exhaust work here is about catalytic converters and lambda sensors rather than the DPF systems that dominate the diesel marques. Cylinder count is the thing people get wrong: most of the range is a three- or four-cylinder with a single system, but the older Grand Vitara was also sold here as a V6, and a V6 is a different exhaust layout entirely from the manifolds back. The naturally aspirated and turbocharged Vitara derivatives differ from each other too, and the rear-drive Super Carry and Eeco are routed unlike anything else.
Locally, the Ignis is mostly a small car with SUV styling bought for city use, where kerb rash, bumper damage and pothole wear on the suspension are the everyday hazards. That is the wear pattern we source against, and it is why we ask what the car does rather than only what it is.
Ignis Exhaust: common questions
Does exhaust fitment change across Ignis generations?
Yes, and on exhaust it is the first thing we check. The Ignis sold here as the current Ignis, on sale in South Africa since 2017, and one engine runs across the entire local Ignis range, which makes engine-side sourcing unusually simple for a Suzuki — the variation is in trim, body colour panels and equipment level instead, so the derivative matters more for cosmetic parts than mechanical ones. Give us the year or the code and the rest follows quickly.
Which Ignis engines were sold here, and does it affect exhaust?
K12M 1.2. Exhaust fitment often follows the engine family rather than the nameplate, so the code on the block is worth reading before you order.
Could exhaust from another model fit my Ignis?
Sometimes, and it is worth knowing where: the K12M is shared with the 2018–2024 Swift and the Dzire of the same era. Where the hardware is genuinely shared it widens the pool we can search for exhaust. We verify the overlap before offering it — we never assume it.
