I found this air intake system for Weber carbs from Thoro-Tec Thoro-Ted web site
They also have other 914 related items.   |

I'd be interested in flow specs.
Looks better for forced induction. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Was wondering what the advantage of this setup is given the air filter is still exposed to the elements. It looks very similar to the various CB performance setups for forced induction. https://www.cbperformance.com/product-p/7312t.htm If doing non forced induction and want to join both stacks to a single air filter, i think this is the better way to go as it actually protects from the rain. https://www.ahnendorp.com/VW-Type-4---Porsc...tml?language=en |

Fluid mechanics sometimes has surprising results. I can't imagine anybody making something like this without modeling it. My quess is that is is quieter more than anything else. |
