So, I have a 73 2.0. it has stainless heat exchangers on it. looks like they are 1.7 pipes. I bought a new rear bracket (2.0) and it does not fit. looking at pictures in the books I have it appears I have 1.7 exhaust. did these come stainless from Porsche?
I have a stock 1.7 muffler on it, is bursch the way to go? I would rather retain heat as this will be a year round street car (mabye daily). but what are the options. so whats out there and whats worth owning. I saw one setup that was 2k for headers and mufflers w/a heat exchanger on one side. Very nice but way out of budget. As a side not anyone need a brand new 2.0 rear exhaust hanger. I paid 40, take 20. It is new from AA. I happened to be in Atlanta and stopped by. you guys are right, rude , condecending, and what a dump. I would gladly trade for a 1.7 in servicable shape. |

Yeah....
SS is the way to go....as for the leaks, there are times you might find the seating area on the head exhaust ports not level due to old copper gasket stuck in there and no one bother to try take it off but put new ones over it..... new exhaust copper gasket are a must when you replace the headers....of course, after the old ones are out! other thing to look at....the mating surface of the inlets on the SS header needs to be straight horizontally and that can be done by placing a long flat file on top of BOTH inlet flanges and file over in an "X" pattern until the whole surface is filed....no need to file it all the way down, just enuff to know that its straight and even. "Finger tight" the nuts on the headers to the head evenly and then torque it evenly will help....I've seen some being tight on one end then the next, it tends to mess up the sealing surface.... hope this helps... j |
