A friend contacted me today about a set of heat exchangers off of a 75 or 76 914.. I went and looked at them and they are pretty nice. Any idea on value if any? I know bad performance but for the orginal folks.

In the past, the 75-76 exhaust hasn't been worth much. It's distinctly sub-optimal, worse than any of the earlier exhausts, and only desired by people who had to pass smog with original-type parts.
Now that 914s have started to get collectible, you might see some more demand for the original-type parts, but I'm a fan of backdating these any time it is practical. BTW, the F-pipes make a lousy basis for a custom exhaust. Unless you're just looking for noise. The unequal lengths plus combining two cylinders that fire right after each other, plus the tight-180-bend thing, make for rather worse performance than the early exhaust. Note that the main difference between the 74 2.0 that made 95 HP and the 75 2.0 that made 88 is this very exhaust.... --DD |
