They are pretty much perfect. Can't think of any dings even.

So are these 2.0 Heat Exchangers?

Look like 1.7/1.8 to me, not 2.0.

The ad does not state that these are 2.0 exchangers.
They are 1.8 or 1.7 but will work on a 2.0 with the correct bracket and muffler.

The bracket is included.

Was hoping these were of the 2.0 variation. Thank you, but I'll pass.
Rand
Hey Jim, just curious... Aren't they all the same.... I mean ID matters. Performance-wise. The brackets and all, but if he has those, why are you turned off by the non-2.0? Your brackets don't line up? That's an easy fix.
sportlicherFahrer
1.7/1.8 have the turn up at the end. I'd have to go buy another Triad muffler. Also "beefing" up my 2056 a bit, so performance matters as well. My 2.0 exchangers on my car currently are in nice shape, but I'd jump on 2.0 SSI's in good shape for the right price.

Got a pic of the bracket?

Picture of bracket

Please feel free to chime in if this the wrong bracket. I have the one longer reach as well but can't remember which is correct to fit 1.7/1.8 exch. to 2.0 muffler. Click to view attachment

That is a 2.0l bracket but it will not work with the heat exchangers you have.
The longer one you describe is probably a 75-76 type. This is a 1.7-1.8 type.

Thanks Bruce. I have that one as well.
Did the eccentric camber bolts work out for you?

I am interested. Have you leaked tested them in any way? I have gone through 3 leaky sets in this current project.

jimkelly
can you post some pics that show the thickness of the rear flanges.

they appear to be regular steel? as some had.

pls post pics of both bottoms and both tops.
are they completely dent free?

I will post up some more pics in a bit.

They have steel flanges that are in good shape.

I have not leak tested them however when in use by me they worked well. If there is a procedure you would like me to carry out to test for leaks please advise and I will get it done ASAP.

Simple leak test I do is seal off the end where muffler attaches (some rubber & wood bolted on) Then fill each tube with water. If water leaks out around the shield then they are junk because the tube has cracked inside the shield.

agree.gif I used rubber stoppers/plugs from Home depot and drilled a hole in one for a valve stem. I too used water but then pressurized each tube with a small bike pump. On the ones I picked up off of Ebay, they were full of small cracks and pinholes and unfortunately were not salvageable sad.gif

But, I feel that anyone who is going to sell a set of stainless HEs should take the time to test them to avoid the danger/liability of the potential situation where the buyer bolts them on and ends up with carbon monoxide poisoning. Plus, it protects you as the seller and it just makes sense.

Okay so I pressure tested these for leaks and they are tight as the....never mind.
They don't leak.
I will write a quick DIY in the Garage section now with pictures.
jimkelly
so flanges are steel and have good thickness.
