Heat Exchangers
Are you backdating a 3.2 Carrera or 3.2ltr engine?
Use these SSi heat exchangers to solve the exhaust requirements by deleting the pre-silencer and turning the rear silencer into a "two in, one out" system seen on the early, pre impact bumper cars.

Fits:
Porsche 911 3.2L Conversion SSI
*Oil pipes 91110772910 and 91110773910 are also required also see our exhaust packages
Modification is needed on the engine tinware when installing on 3.2ltr engines.
LONG LIFE
Made using AISI 321/EN4531 titanium stabilized stainless steel the expected life in the severest road conditions (salt) is 20-30 years.
HIGHER POWER OUTPUT
Output is increased particularly in the low and middle RPM ranges. The design makes power by minimizing intake charge disturbances at valve overlap, and increasing the exhaust gas extraction effect. The volumetric efficiency, and thereby the power output is increased. The SSI headers are significantly improved versions of the basic header design used by Porsche on all normally aspirated six cylinder competition engines.
CARBON MONOXIDE SAFE
Unlike all other aftermarket heat exchangers, the SSI heat exchanger headers are made to minimize the possibility that engine produced acids will internally corrode the enclosed primary tubes, thereby allowing carbon monoxide to enter the passenger compartment. The AISI 304 stainless steel tubing is highly resistant to the byproducts of combustion. SSI use only one piece primary tubes, eliminating the possibility of hand-made welds cracking, and the resulting carbon monoxide leaks.

Exhaust Heat Exchangers for Porsche | Engine Efficiency & Cabin Comfort
Exhaust heat exchangers play a crucial role in your Porsche’s exhaust and heating systems. They recover heat from the exhaust gases and use it to warm the cabin or assist in managing engine temperature. Built for both performance and comfort, these components ensure efficient energy transfer without compromising exhaust flow or emissions.
At Design911, we stock a wide selection of high-quality exhaust heat exchangers designed for classic and modern Porsche models. Each unit is precision-engineered for optimal heat transfer, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability. Whether you’re restoring a classic air-cooled 911 or servicing a newer model, our heat exchangers maintain proper exhaust gas routing and cabin warmth with efficiency and reliability.
What Do Exhaust Heat Exchangers Do?
An exhaust heat exchanger captures waste heat from exhaust gases and uses it to warm air before it’s directed into the cabin or engine system. This helps improve comfort and overall energy efficiency, particularly in air-cooled Porsche engines.
Core Functions:
- Transfers
exhaust heat for cabin heating or auxiliary systems.
- Maintains
consistent engine temperature by controlling heat flow.
- Improves
thermal efficiency and reduces warm-up time.
- Supports
emissions control by stabilising combustion conditions.
- Preserves performance by ensuring balanced exhaust back pressure.
A properly functioning heat exchanger enhances both driving comfort and exhaust efficiency — essential for performance and reliability.
Why Do Exhaust Heat Exchangers Fail?
Due to continuous exposure to heat, moisture, and exhaust gases, exhaust heat exchangers naturally deteriorate over time.
Common Causes of Failure Include:
- Corrosion
and rust from condensation or road salt.
- Cracks
or leaks caused by metal fatigue or impact damage.
- Carbon
buildup restricting airflow and heat transfer.
- Warping
from repeated heating and cooling cycles.
- Exhaust gas leakage leading to fumes entering the cabin.
A failed heat exchanger can cause loss of cabin heating, reduced efficiency, or even exhaust gas contamination inside the vehicle, making timely replacement vital for safety and comfort.
Why Replace or Upgrade Your Exhaust Heat Exchanger?
Replacing a damaged or leaking exhaust heat exchanger ensures optimal heat transfer, clean air circulation, and continued engine efficiency.
Key Benefits:
Restores
heating performance for air-cooled Porsche systems.
Prevents
exhaust leaks and cabin gas contamination.
