My '75 1.8 has the stock, non-SS heat exchangers with a Bursche exhaust. The motor has 55,000 miles on it and runs strong. I've gleened from other posts that SS HE's flow better and help the engine produce more power.
I'm wondering what one could expect, in terms of increased hp/torque from replacing my exhaust with SS HE's. At some point I'd like to rebuild a 2.0 for a little boost in HP, so they could be transferred to that motor. I'm guessing I'd also need a different exhaust and all the plumbing from the HE to the car. |

If you stockers have not rusted out, I would not bother.
If your stockers are rusting out, then you could be pumping exhaust into your cabin while you drive. For this reason, I _really_ don't like the stockers. At least where I live, mild steel exhaust has a 5 year lifespan, and these suckers are going on 30+ years now... The stockers on my 76 looked like swiss cheese. It was pretty bad. Exhaust has water in it, so even the CA exchangers rust (from the inside out). Zach |
