I'm curious if anyone here has ever put some sort of electric heater into their 914. 914-6 heat exchangers, or equivalent, are $1500+. A header can be had for $400 and increases performance. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I can live without heat per se, but I will really need a defog option in my car for rainy days. Anyone rigged something up? Care to share?

Chuck, I have heard of but never seen anyone do the VW gas heater thing... Some headers do come with heat exchanger for 4 cylinders. Not sure about sixes. If you really are just looking for a good functional street car, you can go with SSI heat exchangers instead of headers. Great performance and great heat. In Minnesota you would need at the least a defroster as the windows go fog city with the slightest touch of rain combined with closed windows and breathing occupants.
