Ah yes, the endless debate.. Pros..cons.. both sides have them..

I do believe this pro outweighs any cons that may come with carbs. Sure they can be a pain, but isn't this worth it...?

Love that sound! wub.gif

You can make a custom EFI system that runs better and sounds just like that...

Is this a single carb setup? And what distributor are you running?

Interesting perspective! Thanks for sharing! beerchug.gif

Actually, I am tiring of all that noise... Once I swap out my Dellortos for throttle bodies, I am going to start looking into building an intake to quiet it up a bit.

I'm getting old, and I drive mine on the freeway every day.

Nope, it's a dual Weber setup. The back of the camera is right up against the driver side intake. And the distributor is a Mallory unilite.

And I drive mine on the freeway every day too. This is the nice side of the noise, the cabin drone can get bad but I guess that's what earplugs are for poke.gif

In all honesty though, I'm still working on designing/ manufacturing a cheaper quiet intake system.

I understand the getting old part. I use these.

I can't imagine driving with earplugs. I'm thankful the guy that almost backed in to me the other day didn't have earplugs in and he was able to hear me blasting on the horn ans stop before he crashed into me.

Driving with earplugs proves you are a retard.

Do the intelligent people really need to spell it out?

Nope. My FI engine sounds better than that. biggrin.gif

And i seconds the earplugs. Any trip longer than 1 hour is painful without them.

My earplugs do not filter out the sound of my horn or sirens from a cop/ambulance.
They only muffle the low end noise of the engine.

Without them, i would not be able to stand driving my car for more than 1 hour at most.

The civilized world, except for NASCAR left carbs behind ages ago. Carburetors should be banished the domain of the concours crowd.

Earplugs are an impairment! Why would you dumb yourself?

I learned that when a factory failure let a rod go. If I wasn't audio blinded I could have saved that engine. Lesson learned.

Then you're using the wrong type of earplugs ...

Exactly. I use them on longer trip. They work on certain frequencies more than others. You can still hear everything, but it's cut back a bit. Keeps the wind noise from causing your ears to ring after a long drive.

It's worth it to keep the roof off on longer drives, but I am actively trying to make the car quieter as well.
