Unfortunately what you will eventually discover is that those welds can/will fail and carbon monoxide will get pumped into the passenger compartment. This has happened previously... I forget if it was Porsche itself through one of it's suppliers or an aftermarket vendor of heat exchangers. Anyway, for that reason, I don't believe anybody puts welded connections inside of a heat exchanger anymore?

Not to rain on your parade, but Jason does have a very valid point, and it is something I would keep a close eye on. There are a lot of welds inside those heater boxes and it will not take much leakage to affect brain cells.
