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

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........

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!!
