I'm planning an exhaust refit on my '75 914. Any thoughts on stainless steel heat exchangers from Restoration Design vs those from SSI? Extra bits and pieces will be needed...

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Again, NO!
Tom see the OP 1st post. He is looking to "refit" with backdated parts inquiring about the stainless HE's offered from RD vs the OG ones SSI made out of CA back in the day. Unless someone backdated the car prior, NONE of the parts outside of the flapper valves interchange from a late system (75-76) to the earlier (70-74). In my pic I show one of my 2.0L hangers, a Bursch 2.0L muffler, SSI 2.0L HE's & the rest are OE parts. |

Since it's a 2.0 Warren - you should already have #3 the 2.0 Muffler Bracket, as well as the other 3 tubes & guides - so check your own parts for condition. If not nice or restorable - or if you don't want to bother with restoring yours - Other than the non-stock muffler - Rich's/914Werke is a good representation of the full set-up.

Rich - read Warren's/OP's post #3 which I quoted above: "'75 2.0 liter with original exhaust system. I'm aware other parts are needed to make it all fit but don't have a list yet. The heat exchangers will likely be the largest part of the expense." I posted that BEFORE I saw your other post, & have corrected myself accrdingly in my post #14 - so get a grip! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) And in the post that you responded to - I said to check his parts because his set-up could've been updated &/or some parts may still work - and I said that the muffler was aftermarket - which Bursch is - & the rest was "a good representation". If Warren needs to back date any of his other parts, then he can either get resto used or whichever new parts are now being produced - as I said in post #14. So what is the F-ing problem!? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Geesh! IMHO a 914 owner on here should NOT be limited to only buying parts from members, or restored parts from member-vendors. PS -0 I've bought many parts from both you & Bruce - as well as referring many others to both of you - so get off my case! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Tom /////// |
