I believe they are Dansk, and are the only OEM type ones made. In stainless.

I purchashed a new set from Dansk recently...your set appears to be very special - unicorn if you will. In speaking with them directly, they did not make them in stainless.
●Maybe you have a prototype set..pretty cool if that is the case●

Tubing is stainless steel and the heater boxes are galvanized steel very nice for the price.

http://flatsixes.com/cars/porsche-914/atte...gers-available/To my knowledge the original boxes the steel through. The repro Dansk are SS tubes.
" The key difference here, however, is that the new pieces are crafted of 4026 stainless steel tubing with galvanized steel stamped heat boxes."

Mike,
I was only concerned about the boxes - no issue with the pipes. Thank you for the clarification...congratulations Gint!

It's my understanding the stock HE's (which these appear to be) have a very low grade form of stainless for the exhaust tubing, and mild steel heat shells.
I don't have any skin in this game, but these look like original pieces not reproductions. These look to be as good as you could ever get for OEM pieces.
I think the originals are in most ways superior and safer than anything else you can get. The small tubing will somewhat limit the top end of a large displacement engine but will make a big engine like a 3.0 a low end torque monster, like start from a dead stop in 3rd gear torque.
The safety factor is no welds inside the heat collector. Despite current trends, there shouldn't be a weld inside a heat collector. You will never, ever, find a Porsche factory heat exchanger with a weld inside the heat envelope.

agree and not SS aluminized! in a few of the pictures you can see the texture and in one its really noticeable on the flange end ..good score for sure
