Replacement electrical heat available? Options

[roundboy914]

Well, here is is, November, and I just got my car and new engine back from the shop. Now for my problem. Even though it is Chicago, the snow does not usually start flying for another month or so, and I would like to have my 914 out and about. The Triad headers obviously do not allow for any heat. I was wondering if anyone has tried/heard of/seen an electrical passanger heat system that can help. I am not looking for desert type heat or anything, just something to take the edge off.

Rich, I wish I had your problem!

The thread started with the question of heat for those who are running aftermarket headers, not stock pipes. I forked over the cash to buy the only header system (B&B) I could find that offered heat, and was sorely underwhelmed by the heat output, not to mention build quality in general. Been thinking about trying to design a better clamshell than what I got (it's that bad), but there isn't a lot of room down there to work with.

What intrigues me is the engine oil cooler is effectively a heater core that just pukes hot air all day (like some people I used to work with (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ). Just doesn't seem to be a way to duct the output without serious ground clearance issues unless you relocate it somehow.
