Are 2.0L ss heat exhangers still available anywhere? New?

Short answer: Yes.

I'm sure someone will post a source soon. Otherwise I'll dig up the catalogs I saw them in.

long answer: yes!

contact some of the usual resellers. even if they don't list them in their catalogs and
ask for the "SSI" stainless steel heat-exchangers.
those are the ones you want.
btw. john from SSI has still about 100 pairs of brand new 2.0L HE's sitting in his warehouse.
but he does not sell directly to the end user.

no idea what they would be new. pelican still lists them but says they're "NLA" ...

call them up and tell them that john at SSI still has the 2.0L in stock. they should be able to get you a set ...

Will,
Any follow-up on this?

I talked with Brad Mayeur, he thinks they all went to vendor in Germany and really are NLA. The ones on Ebay just went for $192 + shipping ($105 to my area). I have a line on a nice set for $400.

Did you find anything?

You can still buy SSI 6 heaters/exhaust manifolds (early style)... As for the 914 style... not 100% sure but I think so.

Sure
I can see it now, but honey I have to convert it to a 6 all I can get is 6 cyl ssi heat exchangers

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the only difference that the 1.7&1.8's have the kickup where as the 2.0 heat exchangers do not?

So someone could use the 1.7/8 exchangers on a 2 liter providing that they also used the matching muffler?

You are correct, and I have a set of 1.8L ss exchangers in perfect shape.

But if you are a perfectionist like me, when I change my 1.8L to 2.0L you buy 2.0L ss heat exchangers to "make it right"

I even have case with sn in correct sequence for my car!

Any one want to trade?

And the 1.7 (also 74 1.8) style SSIs have been NLA for years, now.

Is the 74 1.8 unique somehow, or did you just use it for reference? I was under the impression that all 1.7/1.8 were the same.

The 75-76 cars (both the 1.8s and the 2.0s) used the same style of exhaust as each other, the awful crappy roundy-roundy-round system. The 74 1.8 used the same basic exhaust as the 1.7s did.
