I'm planning an exhaust refit on my '75 914. Any thoughts on stainless steel heat exchangers from Restoration Design vs those from SSI? Extra bits and pieces will be needed...

iirc, the muffler and hangers for a 1.7/1.8 are different than a 2.0. Are you starting with a 75 1.8 or 2.0? If a 1.8, you would need to change more than just the heat exchangers to get it to all fit.

'75 2.0 liter with original exhaust system. I'm aware other parts are needed to make it all fit but don't have a list yet. The heat exchangers will likely be the largest part of the expense.

@Warren914

What you will need is:
1. left and right J tubes
2. left and right S branches with attaching brackets
3. Muffler bracket to match the muffler.
4. left and right warm air guides

I have all but 4 that are cleaned and powder coated. Let me know if you are interested.

Bruce - while I know that you have parts to sell - he may not need to replace all of those on his 2.0 - & can just get them cleaned up & PC'ed up in Nova Scotia.

Since it's a 2.0 Warren - you should already have #3 the 2.0 Muffler Bracket, as well as the other 3 tubes & guides - so check your own parts for condition. If not nice or restorable - or if you don't want to bother with restoring yours - then Bruce is a good option for turn-key resto parts.

You can also find SS J-tubes out there FS if you want to also keep that part attaching to the new SS-HEs in SS too.

Other than the non-stock muffler - Rich's/914Werke is a good representation of the full set-up.

However - if you are going to resto your own parts &/or get some new ones, then the ole "while I'm in there" kicks in, & you'll probably end up wanting to also restore & PC or paint the rest of the engine tins too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

The good thing is that you'll probably never need to replace the SS HEs in your lifetime, nor in your kid's, nor .... you get the idea! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
