Just make sure they are dual IDF's - though

After putting twin 40's on my bus , driving was alot smoother and I noticed no difference in fuel use (14L/100). And not only do u get the induction
noise but they also look shit hot when u lift the lid. bwooooooorr .........youll feel much better after hearing that noise.

I believe the Solexes were designed with fuel economy the No 1 item.. performance.... maybe later on ???
also " I run a pair of Webers on My Kombi"
just sounds so much BETTER than
" I run a pair of Solexes on My Kombi"
WEBER is one of the IN Words....
