Yup no need to coat as they are stainless..

Re criticism I don't take any offense.. I look at value for the dollar and for what the sell price is there is no way any U.S. manufacturers could do it any cheaper with stamped shrouds. I wish there was enough demand but there just isn't. Long term goal is to sell 2 sets a month and I am not sure if that is even possible?? If I am wrong I will be surprised.

This looks to be a really nice product, and one that addresses a problem at an attractive price. If I had a big-displacement six, I would probably go this way. For those who, like me, have smaller sixes and like the look of the original heater boxes (not that we spend much time looking at them...), there is already a product out there. I will probably go with the Dansk HEs in mild steel, and then have them Jet Hot coated. I figure those should last for the rest of my 914's life—and certainly mine.

It is GOOD to have two great options. If I do a larger engine at some point, these will be on my radar. They look superior to some of the other aftermarket HEs to date. Cool seller, too. Can deal with criticism, but understands his product and plan and can back it up. Thanks for doing these!

The plan is the 1st set will ship this week and 3 more the following week. So the 1st 4 depositer s will get the 1st 4 sets.. There will be a small break in shipping as have to take care of a small suergery that will delay building more sets for about 2 weeks..

Lookin good!! Looking forward to a finished product picture. I think I am at the bottom of the list. But no hurry for me anyway. I plan to swap out my stock heat exchangers during my company's shutdown, which is between Christmas and New Years.

Take care of yourself first, we can all wait on parts...not health

Looking good!
BTW, did you ever get my O2 bungs, not the best confirmations from where I ordered them.

I've been running factory 914-6 heat exchangers on my 3.2 for over 16 years now. So no hurry. Maybe find out who has nothing and is in more of a hurry.
Your health and family should come first anyway.

Great thread. You do beautiful work. I am not doing a six conversion, but it sure is tempting.

I have a question though and this is not criticism. How do you prevent rattling or vibration from the heat exchanger (HE) enclosure on the headers? On stock HE's the jacket is crimped around the exhaust pipes, I assume to reduce vibrations and also to seal in the hot air being pushed through the HE's to the cabin.

Stock ones actually have a tab that bolts to the flange to stop the rattling we will do the same.
