As these cars become more popular we may see more manufacturers making parts?

If they're being sold by Stoddard, they ARE factory parts, just not sourced through the same path as parts for currently supported vehicles.

Though they're expensive, they do look beautifully made. I wish they made them in larger diameters, but the tooling costs would be immense. Otherwise, I wish Billy Boat's heat exchangers were better fits and worked better as he does make them in larger diameters. It seems most conversions are using larger engines than the original 2.0 liter.

Nope, Dansk reproductions.

Yes, there is a thread on this and one from Stoddards (Per Schroeder) in the vendors section.

I tried to get Dansk to work with me to make thosed, some 15 years ago. I sent a set to them, and they weren't interested. Told me whatever tooling they ever might have had for those had long since been scrapped on the instruction from Porsche. Hmmmm

I know for a fact through multiple sources, Dansk is providing the dealerships with the " factory " parts. Most anything you are buying at the dealer for older Porsches, thinking they are " factory " is marked up Dansk. I've just gone through this looking for NOS 911 door skins, and early 911 fenders. Same parts from R.D./Pelican as the dealer for significantly less

Surely you don't think Porsche made all those original HEs inhouse. Nearly everything is supplied under contract by outside suppliers. Dansk may not be the original supplier, but those new ones are as "factory" as you're ever gonna see.

Anybody on the forum had a chance to get a set and test them out. I am curious about fit and performance?

Got my set. . looked great. . . pulled my old ones of and guess what. . don't fit, bolt holes do not line up and mating surfaces not parallel with heads. .
I'm working with Stoddard's manager. . made him a template of my old exchanges. .
As of now, Dansk has recalled them. . waiting for word on new production run. .
And to be fair to Stoddard, they are bending over backwards to get these right. . great customer service, just have to go through the pains of being the first to try them out. . additional customers reporting the same issues.

Here's how far off the bolt holes are. .plexiglas locating fixture I made and my old factory exchangers and then the new Dansk, and the mating surfaces

I can't believe they didn't have a six to try them on before mass producing them. Otherwise I wish I had the money for them when they get them right. Mine are pretty trashed but work great and provide awesome heat in the winter time, which is kind of a joke in Southern California.

Sorry to see that but I am sure Stoddard will make it right.

I have decided (before the fitment issue came to light) to have Scotty blast and repair mine as needed and then have them ceramic coated and use them.

What I am really trying to find is a set of headers with heat exchangers in 1 5/8" tubing to help the 3.2 run properly. Perhaps even 1 3/4" tubing depending upon what the people in the know about this stuff (certainly not me) have to say.

My set were exactly flawed like toolguy mentioned. Stoddard took the return with no issues and I'm waiting for word about Dansk retooling and offering them again.
