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...

@Tom_T
QUOTE IIRC his is a straightforward change-out of 2L SSI-HEs from the OE steel ones, I’m a 73 2L guy - so if I'm wrong on that, then give Warren what he needs for a 75-76 2.0 conversion to the 73-76 SSI HEs. I think you may still be missing that SSIs (and early 2.0 EOM exchangers) are not compatible with '75 & '76 2.0 exhaust setups. Adds for the SSIs will say that they are compatible with later models, which they are, but only if you backdate all the other necessary pieces as Rich and Bruce detailed. |
