Hello,

This system is offered for sale in the classifieds.
Does anyone here know if this would fit my car?

My car is:
From 1972
Side shift conversion
Block and heads for 2.0
Cylinders 103mm

All input is appreciated.

Not sure of fit but the price seems high and the collector looks a little hacked up. I actually have a set of these that were modified for the stub pipes and I got them for almost half the price. This exhaust originally cost under $300 and was made so wrong that they were only usable if modified and were pulled from the market. But they are the only stainless header that was ever really produced which is why I got them and the stub pipes made mine even better.

They should fit the motor. Not sure how optimal they will be for it, though.

OBX isn't really known as a top-quality exhaust manufacturer, and the K-H design has as far as I can tell always been a second-best to Chris Foley's Tangerine Racing setup.

For $1000 budget, i’ll get msds headers and triad exhaust system. Double that budget and i would love tangerine racing exhaust system.

All the extra welding done with what looks like a someone using a Mig Welder as a booger cannon.

Lots of people do that, just take a MIG, use standard filler and start welding, they all should be ar15.gif

Yeah.... I have no budget.
But do know that my current exhaust setup is robbing me of lots of HP.
In your opinion; what would this system be worth?

No budget = no brainer.
There is only system which will not rob your engine of lots of HP.

I would pass.

$200-300, maybe give it a try.

Don't bother with this get a Tangerine header which I don't believe is stainless but is coated.

One day, I will have your system (Including the carburetor-linkage).
It is just not yet.

yes it will fit, but more for racing, and of course you will have no heat. We usually sell Martin Schneiders header system with the super trap muffler, was dyno tested for highest hp, and Marty makes the best stuff available for Porsche racing and high performance applications

This is what the car came with, which was way too loud:

This is what I'm using now, which is very restrictive (noticed significant drop in power), but the sound level is good.
