Exhaust/header options, Is there power to be had? Options

[blaize]

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.

Well, I don't have 30 years experience racing Porsches, or any other car for that matter, but I do have 31 years of experience driving heat exchanger system 914's. My first 914 (a 73 I bought new and still have) had no heat to the cab after 7 years. SS fried my butt like the oems never did, and continues to work great today. BTW, The little 1.7 has over half million miles and still runs good. It's fixing to get all the oil leaks fixed, and used as a spare motor for all the 2.0's that break. I doubt the 914 race cars had heat exchangers on them anyway. I have never had problems getting them to seal.

This brings to mind a question. If SS never came stock, does mean my 75 with SS HE's in the standard 75 configuration is aftermarket?

SS and you'll never go back!
