Lo, these past 30+ years I've been running my '70 914/4 w/o the OEM rear valence. The reason it's been off is, I'm sure, well known by those who frequent this Forum. However, I'm thinking about taking it out of the basement, cleaning it up, re-finishing it as necessary, and putting it back on the car. This is the rear valence that has the exhaust hole, not the cut-out. The question is, does anyone out there actually run with this part on all the time? It has always seemed to me to really be in the way of rear end maintenance inspection, not to mention the heat build-up issue.

Any kind of valence looks better than no valence! One thing to remember, if you decide to put it back on - it will only fit for a factory muffler/tailpipe combination for the 1970-72 models . Many of the muffler/pipe combinations sold in the last 20 years have the tailpipe for post-72 muffler setup installed. Measure yours & compare to factory specs for a (let me guess) 1970 model. If it doesn't match, you always replace just the tailpipe. Don't ask me how I know & don't ever try to make Bursch exhaust fit! |
