When did Porsche abandon the rear valance with the porthole, I have a late 1970 914-6 (7/70) that has the shorter notched one that I believe is original to the car. Also interior back pad and seat vinyl trim is heavier grain which I know was for 1971.

Glad to hear that you will be back to 914 upfixin soon. I have gotten some very useful instruction from your posts here and elsewhere, Pat. Thanks!
One thing I wish you would share is your experience with early rear valence and Bursch exhaust, as I will soon have that combination on my '70 1.7. Cheers, Mark |

PO of my car tried it. Tailpipe doesn't fit the opening of the valence well. He made it work but wasn't pretty. Stock muffler works best. - my opinion. |

Yes, the stock muffler would be best...wish that I had one, but it is $400! Some of us here have more limited funding. I need to get some use out of the new Bursch exhaust that I have had in stock for years now. If there is only an alignment problem with the tailpipe, that seems to be something that could be sorted out for less than $400 for another exhaust system. Thanks, Mark |
