I've got the beginnings of a performance T4.
I bought a decent 73 2.0 core complete from 914Sixer.
I got a set of 1.8 SSI aftermarket heat exchangers from another member that are also pretty nice.

What I am missing is the bottom tins that go between the heat exchangers and the engine case.

Anytime folks put dedicated headers on a T4 these are left off...

How important are they?

I'm thinking "not much" but I would like insight from others.

Thanks

Rick
