Need some help from you guys in the know. I have a chance to pick up some nice shape stainless heat ex's for a 1.7/1.8. I am getting different information about the sizes of tubing. Some are saying all ss heat ex's were made with the same size tubing, others are saying no, different sizes. I want them for a 2.0. What size tubing should these be? What else will be needed to convert 76 to pre 75?
Thanks, Tom

Recently purchased a B.F.N. pair off E-Bay...Original SSI manufacture...Still in original wrapping...And let me tell you, they are some kind of pur-ty...

But there was some confusion from the seller about whether they were 1.7/1.8's or 2.0's and I was not sure myself...So I called SSI and asked them...

All the 914 HE's he manufactured used the same size pipe, regardless of application...The 2.0 size pipe...The difference is the 1.7/1.8's have the large offset back after the HE but before the muffler flange...The 2.0's are reletively straight...

Therefore, as mentioned in a previous reply, you have to match the muffler and the hanger...

He does not have any to sell and is not currently planning to make any either...

And NO they are not for sale...

2-OH!
