Theyre twin webers on a twin manifold. A redline manifold to suit 2 carbs is $392 brand new. Yoc can pick them up for cheaper than that second hand though, and the carbs are about $150 each (I think). They give a massive power increase if you have the right motor. a worked G200 with twin carbs fucking flies. Putting them on a stock 1600 is a waste of time though.
Hope that helps a bit. |

im not much of a carbie man, but to me they look like twin webers.
they do increase power and minimise fuel economy
power increase 0-10hp's i guess |

im only guessing.
they would perform better with a lumpy cam, exhaust & extractors. its pointless putting them on a basically stock motor that doesnt need the extra fuel and air
as i said, im not much of a carby man so i could be wrong |

just remeber it is not all about hp. theres that whole torque thing that is kinda important too. |

Ha ha, I like that, a fella that says:
I dont know what they are, how much they cost, or what they do, but I've just gotta get some!! |

For a "good" pair youll pay anywhere between 700 - 1000 bucks
its not just about the hp - its about stopping the car from leaning out at higher rpm. Its also who tunes them and who rebuilt them - webbers can do wonders if they're in the right persons hands. Most people dont have a clue about them. |

for a 1000 you may aswell go buy an mtx8 for 950 brand new and a rodeo inlet manifold.
i know what i would prefer |
