914World.com _ 914World Garage _ my -6 MSDS header conversion to headers with heater

Posted by: DEC May 18 2014, 04:08 AM

I got a set of OE 914-6 headers from a car that was involved in
a heavy accident. All Parts from this car are bend incl. the headers

Because I build that -6 for my wife as a daily driver heating it is a must have

I desided to cut them off and transfer the parts to
the MSDS headers I got last year from Marty

With a bit addon sheetmetal and a lot of

Ready for installation

There are only 2 pipes in use for heat butI think they can not
heat worse than the BB stainless steel headers which
I use on my 6........

Impressive work. I bet they keep the car nice and warm too.

I hope you didn't weld them to the pipes... Those can create pinholes, leading to carbon monoxide poisoning for anyone in the car when the heat is on... Even if there aren't holes now, they can develop later. If you noted the original exchangers, they were a little loose on the pipes--to avoid just this problem.

If you welded them, please please please get a CO detector and use it full-time in the car!!

Sporty Pilot shop has inexpensive ones that work well.

Even with originals, you should run a carbon monoxide sensor!

Pressure check the primarys and you will know if there are pin holes.. In avaiton they are semi loose as well.
