heat getting into cabin with center lever off after SSI upgrade
Hi everyone. Did a quick search for this issue but I did not find anything obvious as a match. About a year and a half ago I upgraded / backdated my exhaust on my 3.2 euro to SSI's and a 2 in 1 out muffler. My chassis is a 72 T, so it only has one heat lever by the e-brake if that is relevant. My first drive with the car after the shop did the work (a very skilled air cooled mechanic that is an SSI dealer) resulted in excessive heat in the cabin, even with the heat lever in the down position, especially with the targa top on. I brought it back and they did some adjustments and it got better, but never resulted in a 100% no heat situation when the heat lever was in the down position. Lately, the issue seems to be getting worse / more noticeable but nothing like the first time I drove the car after the SSI install. I recently had the car in the shop for new soft brake lines and I asked them to adjust the connections / heat coming into the cabin when the lever is off. Unfortunately, they said there was nothing they could do.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? What can be done to address / fix this issue or it is a given as part of the upgrade on some of our cars?
TIA,
Scott
