Engine is out, thinking about deleting heat exchangers. What is the best source for ceramic coated exhaust manifolds?

Headers are the only true bolt on HP but with a stock engine the improvement isn't very big, I'd rather keep the heat.
It looks like you have an 75-76 exhaust, I'd back date to SSI stainless steel heat exchangers and a good muffler. The SSI's can be found good used if you watch the classifieds.

What's your budget? Headers you can expect to spend $600 (uncoated headers only) to $3K for a full system.

wow someone has really butched up your heat exchanger system, welding early pipes onto a late heat exchanger!

MSDS, Marty Schneider makes the best four cylinder header system

Triadwest@comcast.net makes a bolt on system for the 75/76 heat exchangers.Click to view attachment

Yeah, the heat exchangers are crap. Honestly, I really don’t need them. My muffler was fabricated by Redstone Engineering here in Indy, looks better painted.Click to view attachment

MSDS has great 914 headers. Well worth the money and they give a discount to world members.

What is a good website to check out your products?
Triadwest@comcast.net doesn't come up with anything.

Thanks

Thanks for the info

Headers are just the headers, you'll need a different muffler as well. You want a 4 into 1 or a 4-2-1 system.

MSDS make good headers, Marty will ceramic coat them but it's extra cost.
Tangerine (CFR) headers are the top tier, but are also the most expensive. It's the 4-2-1 system.
I don't think Ben makes a /4 system.
There used to be another brand (Euro?) IIRC.
There is (or was) OBX headers that are cheap on ebay, but they are total crap, fit like dog shit and are a cheap rip-off of the MSDS design. Don't get took and support the vendors who actually support 914world.

Just FYI.... European headers are available at GT-Racing.com. They have a specific 914 kit which includes headers, stub pipes, hangar bracket, and megaphone muffler for $935. Ceramic coating is available, but costs more.

Others will have to chime in for performance/fitment, but it's an option. I know a lot of folks don't care for the megaphone. I kinda dig it. Also dig those Toyo Proxes R1R's on those Mahles. Sweeeet!
