@Tdskip
I apologize I'm in a giddy mood in advance of the holiday. Cheapest way to connect the exhuast is with $1.20 worth of bolts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Best way is to have have @mb911 fabricate a beautiful system out of Stainless to your specification. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) If you go the muffler shop fab route, who knows what you'll get especially if you can't supply the flanges. I've had great shops that do extraordinary work for dirt cheap at times and other times I can tell it was some new Goober they just hired that day that they turned loose with a torch and a MIG. What ever they do, make sure they provide some sort of support bracket. You don't want the weight of some muffler assembly being suppoted by the headers, they will crack in very short order. See . . . I tried to be helpful. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

Looks like the header is exiting exhaust, forward toward the fan housing?
I could say more. |

Just bring it to local muffler shop and have them run the pipes? This is a 2.0L engine going into a ā74. Thanks! I'm thinking that performance would be a bit better with the long tube heat exchanger type headers of a 2.0. They are individual runners coming off each exhaust port from the head vs. the 2 into 1 as pictured. That design seems restrictive for the proper exhaust flow exit. |

Thanks gentlemen ā exhaust optima on 914 is a whole new topic for me, so appreciate the thoughts.
Iām planning on @mb911 for the /6 exhaust, this one I need to be as frugal as non-self defeating on. For education purposes, is it correct to say the issue with these is that you have two cylinders venting into the same pipe in close proximity to each other? |

They are pointing the wrong direction, correct for late HEs. Only thing to make them work is the correct HEs/ducting or fab something up. More stub pipe than header. Cheapest easiest would be a set of early ones with garbage casings (usually about for the price of shipping and a bit for time and gas). More exhaust options this route,

Those are the header part of a 75/76 car and they are pointed foreword as they should be to accept the rest of the heat exchangers. You can swap them side to side, they will fit. With the flanges pointed towards the rear, you could have some stup pipes made to the exhaust bracket (stock location and configuration) then just get a 75/76 exhaust to match. Triad does make those. That is what I would do...
