What do you guys think? I can't imagine any performance gain over a larger single carb. (except to be able to say you got dual carbs, LOL). and it looks like they are mounted upside down in the pic. Anyone out there use them? do they work?

with the sharp 90 degree turns in the intake, I would say it would make less power

U.K-minibiker · 05-23-2006, 10:57 AM

would use more fuel to

jdmp · 05-23-2006, 11:00 AM

2 times the tuning also....I think it would be pointless

eight_ball · 05-23-2006, 11:01 AM

That manifold is a chinese joke

racerx351 · 05-23-2006, 11:20 AM

it may work with a diff style manifold.... but it would look cool!!!

U.K-minibiker · 05-23-2006, 11:32 AM

i think it would look crap

kawirider25 · 05-23-2006, 11:36 AM

lol .. nothin but negitive answers.. but i agree it makes no sence.. maybe more power but more work too..

xX50RiderXx · 05-23-2006, 11:53 AM

why not just get 1 big carb instead of 2 small ones....

reynolds_brad · 05-23-2006, 12:20 PM

would be a pain to fit under the tank.

d0n · 05-23-2006, 01:00 PM

it looks like the numbnut seller put the manifold on upside down. Need to take it off, flip it over so the intake faces down.

SprNtrl · 05-23-2006, 01:08 PM

There was also another dual carb manifold, except that it put the carbs to the side, instead of back, and didn't have any abrupt angles to it. I forget where I saw it, I think it was DRP, or maybe Nige had it on Ebay, can't seem to find it now.

FastMC · 05-23-2006, 04:00 PM

Like the dual exhausts it's probably more show than go. Whatever floats your boat though.

wouldn't the pipe hit it, the manifold i have now has the carb sit pretty close to the pipe as it is. I still think it would be cool to have for street use.

1TrikZB · 05-23-2006, 06:39 PM

So which is better, the dual carb or an electric TURBO

?

ryan2282 · 05-23-2006, 06:40 PM

I want it. Wheres that from?

ryan2282 · 05-23-2006, 06:42 PM

$90 for a turbo. How in the hell would an electric turbo work if its powered by the exhaust to begin with?

1TrikZB · 05-23-2006, 06:44 PM

The same seller.
