I went to take a look at this today. It is a steel header that is painted black and bolt's to the heater box. look's like a type 4 bus part with the outlet going to the left.

I cant thank you enough Mike (AZ Mike). Seriously. This is exactly what I envisioned would happen with a good BBS. 914 people helping other 914 people. You helped by quickly evaluating a part that was manufactured near you.

OK, so I'm trying to picture what this thing is.

Take a Bursch (POS) and hacksaw the muffler (and tailpipe) off.

You've got a couple of flanges and j-tubes for $106? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Andy and I buy crack down the street from his Oakland home. Right next to the liquor store where the nasty hookers hang out.

The way you guys chase after the elusive $100 header makes me think you are looking for the Holy Grail, fer krys'sake. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
BTW, I think Bursch calls their muffler system a 4-2-1 header. It does improve output over the factory muffler too. At least for a portion of the rpm range. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Why don't they just say so and put up a picture? To me, a HEADER bolts to the heads, hence the name.

Chris, It's partly curiousity and partly the human nature known as greed that keeps people chasing after cheap deals. Besides, for some, that's more money left for crack. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Hey Yall didn't Ya'll see my post on this 2 days ago on STF? Its half a Bursch...

"I have pasted the S&S 914 header catalog info below.
These sound like a system that bolts onto the stock HE's to replace the muffler ala Bursch, Monza, etc. Notice they do not list a left or right and they offer a CA version... for that price is the muffler/cat extra?

PORSCHE EXHAUST SYSTEMS

Part # Product Description Retail
P-91 70-74 1.7/1.8 Liter 914 Header $102.65

P-92 73-74 2 Liter 914 Header $106.50

P-93 49 State 75-76 1.8/2 Liter 914 Header $106.50

P-93C CA only 75-76 1.8/2 Liter 914 Header $106.50

Answered my own question. Right below the 'headers' in the catalog is the following:

PORSCHE MUFFLERS

Part # Product Description Retail
M-P00 QP for P-93/P-93C $61.85
M-P50 QP for P-91 70-72 914 $61.85
M-P90 QP for P-91 73-74 914 /P-92 $61.85 "

I also think it's too cheap to be what I want, but all I've got to lose is shipping and even that I could get re-imbursed if I bitch about it enough (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The way I look at it, if it is not a true bolt-to-the-heads header in an expected fashion, a little pressure will get them to change thier descritption or even better, to correctly make the part.

Now quit making fun of me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)

Just another BBS you could get your ass kicked off for being a smart ass, Brad. STF is ShopTalkForums where Jake Raby hangs out.

Brad, can you change the Rife smiley (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) to point the other way so we can take practice shots at Mueller’s dancing banana ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
