  2. @lhu1281 has/had some on a thread I read a while back. You might have more luck searching for "velocity stacks". I'm pondering some for my Dells but they seem a bit expensive for what they are.
     
  3. Thanks, I'll take a look.

    Will a vuvuzela work as well ?


    Seriously unless you have fitted a low ratio gearbox to a bus, will the engine ever rev high enough to need the airflow straightened... i thought these were for Beetles screaming around..

    They increase the length of the induction tract and that helps maintain inlet velocity on single choke per cylinder carbs.

    40mm dia x 50mm stacks on 40 IDF Webers. For 2316cc the carbs are too small but I hardly ever have the throttle wide open.

  8. What clearance does that give to the top of your air filters?

    :)I didn’t buy them from Classic Carbs but that’s where I took the dimension from, I’ll measure them tomorrow if you really want to know what they are exactly.
     
  16. I meant did you give any great thought to the height of the pipe, as they’re available in many lengths.

    I’d like to say I calculated what the ideal length would be - but I just bought what was available that would fit in the existing air filters. I’ve just searched through my emails and I bought them from VWH, part number AC129199.
