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. |

Remember... every 1 to 2 hp you can get out of these engines IS a boost. You would be increasing your hp by almost 3%
