You have SS heat exchangers and tried to cut them up!
Any way you can probably find some old heat exchagers that were cut up and only the pipes are remaining, I have a set like that and am sure many other people do. The exhaust pipes themselves are pretty thick and get very hot, so they last almost forever. |

Sell your SS pipes and get some spending money. If you ceramic any setup which can rust, it will be protected for as long as you own a 914. I got my Kerry Hunters for $150 at a swop. They are no longer as popular since Tangerine is being pumped out as the shizzit. I think they are good because of the extractor muffler in the system not the pipes themselves. Get a good cone extractor muffler and you are set for pipes and getting the exhaust out efficiently.
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) Ballanced pipes are just ballanced pipes in the end but the extractor pulls the gases out with a vortex effect. I'd like to put a turbo at the end of my headers and run a small exhaust pipe straight back from there. Cool! |

Cool! i'd plan on selling my existing pipes, but i like to have an exhuast on the car before i sell the old....kinda funny about waiting and hoping. |

I hear you bro. I kinda wished I had a second teener to drive while this one gets the old skin painted.

The 2.0 pipes have a larger diameter than the 1.7 ones. The stainless ones you have apparently are even larger than the 2.0 since the tubes have a thinner wall. So all in all you won't gain anything power wise. Also check if your current setup is the 2.0 or 1.7 style, i.e do the pipes at the end of the exchangers go straight (2.0) or do they bend upwards (1.7 & 1.8) since these setups require different mufflers.

Mihai, thanks for the info. i am not worried about h/p gains at this time. mainly just wanting to get rid of all the heat exchanger stuff. i have no need for any heating equiptment. if it's too cold, i'll drive the 944,Durango, or Mrs. J's Avalanche. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
