He wants $3000 for them. Not sure if it is the same guy who was selling them a week ago and would not get me a picture and then they were sold when I asked for the PN off the packaging, but this guy has at least posted pictures and named a price.

That is what I suspected. He did not know what they were worth but got a lot of interest and is trying to repost them and get max dollars. I am sad to think that somebody who needs them for a restoration might pay him his price. If you need heat this may be the cheapest way to do it on a 6...

I sent him a reply to his Craiglist add and asking for some hi-res pictures front. back, top and bottom and he replied if I was interested I could come see them in MT. I replied back that I am in CA and radio silent since then.

I tried to explain exactly that, they need to be on a proper restoration which I'm doing. I was willing to pay asking price, and I got hung up on!
Seriously
If someone sends him money I wish them luck.....

So is this an ad in Denver CL but the guy/exchangers are in Billings MT? I'm three hours from there and my brother is in Billings. If anyone needs pics or anything let me know and I'll try and help out. I wish I could justify the $ for NOS but mine are not in that bad of shape to need these. Sounds like the dude is hard to deal with? Maybe a visit w/Louie is needed? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bandit.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

Just to add some interesting information related to this topic I know for an absolute fact that new stock 914/6 factory heat exchangers will be coming onto the market soon.
They are being made by JP Group in Denmark who is an original supplier to Porsche and has recently bought SSI. I am not affiliated with the company other than I know the owner and he is a great 914-6 enthusiast and Porsche lover. I was personally involved in getting him convinced such a project would be well received by the 914 community.
So now there really is no need to overpay for NOS or a used set when now ones will be available once again. I've seen the first production set and they looked fantastic, albeit I never fitted them up. So there the cat's out of the bag, now we all know what to ask for this Christmas. I have a couple sets already on order and will report as soon as they are delivered.

I guess this NOS set can become wall art for this guy.

Here's a teaser photo:

Great news! Any Idea of price point? Man, my restoration timing is getting better all the time. New wiring harness about to hit the market and now this.... beautiful!

Oh that is good news. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) I wonder if they could make them with bigger tubes to better fit the 3.2?

No idea of pricing but I expect them to be reasobable compared to NOS or recent crappy used sets. I did suggest sets with larger tubes, I think it will depend on the success of the stock ones to recover tooling and setup costs.

The best news ever...

If they're anywhere near or under the price of the B+B, it'll be a total no-brainer to add heat back into my 914 post six conversion.

HOORAY!!!!!

Please pass my thanks along to your friend!

Just had another thread about this a week ago. Boy, I hope this isn't a late April's Fool joke. If it's the real deal and a fair price, they're going to be working overtime building them.

If your brother is in Billings, I'd chip in for gas to have him go see them in person and take pictures for the group. Give you good odds that suddenly they would no longer be available...

Thanks but no need for $. I've sent an e-mail to the seller to see if I can get someone over there to take pics & do inspection. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

Ok, I had my brother go over and check out these exchangers.... they look to be the real deal and have never had exhaust thru them. If anyone wants high res photo's I'll be happy to send the files... PM me for e-mail addy.

* John (seller) told my brother that he wanted 3500 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) for them and he had another guy coming down from Bozeman to look at 'em. Says he's opening a VW & Porsche shop in Billings.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Hey, I don't blame the guy a bit. If they were mine they would probably have a $5k price tag.
