My 73 914-2.0's HEs are original & now rusted through, so I picked up a pair of good used SSI HE's/exhaust pipes to not have that problem & CO poisoning issues ever again! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif)
My question is - should I leave them shiny, or paint them as per the stock OE mild steel ones, or does it matter in the CW world?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) If painted, is it the same flat gray hi-temp paint as used on the mufflers, as seen at the 356 Registry?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) They look like this now: Thanx for your input! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

No, as a CW you need to put the rusty death exchangers back on. Just roll down the window.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

No, as a CW you need to put the rusty death exchangers back on. Just roll down the window.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) Or....you could leave the windows up. With the heat on full blast, and leaking exchangers, you could actually put yourself to "sleep". Remember, these cars have virtually no smog stuff on them. That's why it smells of heavy unburned hydrocarbons when you pass an early "anything" car. Remember when people used to pull the car in the garage, close the door, leave the car running,....and die. Hard to do with cars these days because the cars are so clean. Oh, you can do it, but ir's going to take a lot more effort and suffering to make it work. Point here is - live! Get some SSI's & keep them clean. Pat |

Pat Pat - sorry to say, you still DIE with CO Poisoning even on new cars as fast as those of yore, since Carbon-Monoxide is not removed by even modern emission controls - and we have the strictest & getting more so out here in CA! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) Headaches are the first sign of initial or mild longer CO Poisoning, then (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) & last unconsciousness (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) , but a CO sensor is a better way to tell! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I've got the SSI SS HEs in hand, as shown in the pix in my posts above, & they'll be finished off & go on my 914 when everything is hooked up again! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Cheers All! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
