How many of you have seen a set like this before ...???

I know I have posted pictures of them here at one time




"Collectable items" right there, valuable as well ! The header secondaries were shorter thereby allowing a set of megaphones to attach (like intermediate extension tubes) directly into the mufflers. The factory figured that this corrected the back pressure when running with their sport muffler. For Marathon runs through cities with noise control, the twin muffler tips were temporarily capped, thereby directing the exhaust out the standard L rear tip. I guess you would call this a tight-packaging racing exhaust , specific for the m471 Competition cars.

At the same time I bought those, I was putting an early 911 engine
in my car and was quite surprised when the rear shift rod wouldn't fit anymore.
The shop owner walked away and came back with this shift
rod that was also part of Ralph's stash and he handed it to me and said
..."I wondered why this was cut like this"....
Fit like a charm....Attached Image

Years ago I sold a couple European Racing Headers for 914-6, but IIRC George Narbel (I think was his name) passed away. They were pretty good and fit well.
