Current thin-flange SSI's available without MFI heater tube?
 

Are the current thin-flange SSI's available without the MFI heater tube?

Backdating a '75 car and I bought these on eBay:

But the heat exchangers I received have the MFI heater tube on the driver side:

Both the eBay listing and the box show a part # of 91.911SSI.

I've had older SSI's on a couple cars that did not have the heater tube but wondering if that version is no longer being made under new SSI ownership. Any ideas?

I'm pretty sure all the new ones are with the tube, if its not being used you just cap it off.

Yeah, I know, but it'll still keep me up at night!

Wonder why everyone is showing the photo without the tube?

Probably an old stock photo. Its easier for them to produce 1 style for both applications.

Spoke with Bill @Pelican and turns out the thin flange SSI's ARE available without the MFI heater tube and our host has them in stock.

One more crisis averted...

No kidding, no way I could live with that either. The correctness of Porsche details can be a cruel mistress.

Correcting my own post. Although Bill @ Pelican had told me that these were available without the MFI heater tube, turns out that SSI has recently consolidated their production and the non-MFI SSI's are NLA. Anyone using these in a carbureted car in the future will need to cap off the tube. Another first world problem we'll all have to live with.
