They are formed outta something, heck I used have tons of em laying round.

Posted by: Root_Werks Feb 28 2005, 10:06 AM

Since that is the cool air down there, I would think you could cut something to fit. Maybe even rubberized cork so it would form a little?

Posted by: Bleyseng Feb 28 2005, 10:39 AM

Yeah, but the oem pieces are formed outta some asbestos crap and fit great. Used to be a $2 part.

I ain't paying $22 for them.

Easy, rip out the h/e crap and buy euro race headers.

I might have a set sitting around. I'll check for you this weekend.

Ah Matt, do you see where I live? You have to have heat here as I tried the header route even in the summer its cool in the morning. I froze driving to the AX one time without heat. It was only a one hour drive in 50 degree weather so I was a popsicle when I got there at 9 o'clock. Ripped that shit out the next weekend and never looked back.

geoff is 100% correct on the header issue. if you want to drive your car after 9am and be done with it before 9pm, even in the summer, headers are the way to go. fogged windows are another story. will the h.e.'s be sufficient for the big engine?

You guys are sissies.. I drove a full winter without heat (up on the east side) with my first 914. Had to use the fresh air fan to help keep the fog off. Talk about frigid.. oh wait, don't be stupid like I was.

Posted by: Root_Werks Feb 28 2005, 03:32 PM

Geoff, what's the part number? I can call my supplier and see if he can get them.

Posted by: Bleyseng Feb 28 2005, 03:47 PM

021 256 325A and 021 256 326A are the numbers I get off the PET

Posted by: ejm Feb 28 2005, 04:40 PM

Those are still good numbers with VW and Porsche....prices are in the mid $20's from them too

I'd cut some from cork and be done with it

Posted by: MattR Feb 28 2005, 05:01 PM

Ahh, I should know that... my brother went to school at U Dub for two years. What can i say? Im a jaded socal'ian, born and raised. I'll take a look this weekend for you. I pulled all my heater stuff out when I went to headers and it was all in pretty good condition.

Posted by: Bleyseng Feb 28 2005, 05:18 PM

Ya, problem is used ones crumble instantly. So for $22 bucks you get crap!
Geoff

Posted by: Root_Werks Feb 28 2005, 05:33 PM

Part numbers didn't work for my guy. Figures. Oh well.

Posted by: dinomium Feb 28 2005, 05:34 PM

Yeah I drove my first 14 without heat too... Even going skiing. Now that I am old I like to pretend that I am wise, road cars NEED heat!

Ahh, okay. I thought mine were in good condition, but if they'll crumble then nevermind...

You were insulated leathers with heaters in them! I just drive my 914 and freeze my ass off without heat.
