Agreed, as a daily, webers are noisy, it might be right for some, but the noise would drive me bokers as a daily. I am thinking you would be the same Anton, but give it a go, if you don't like it, take em off and still a HIF44 on it or something similar.
Oh yeah don't forget the hydrulic handbrake

Cheers
Aaron

I have had a 40mm weber on my 998 for about 2 weeks now, and i wouldn't go back to the single su. i just love the weber it sounds and goes heaps better.

aaahhhhhhh yessss....... I remember

my neighbours are going to hate me with this GT. Its got an LCB and 2 in zorst as well as the Weber!

I had a 45 on my 1330 sold it and replaced it with a HIF44.The su is good but not as good as a side sucker .Wish i had not sold it but i needed the cash for some new superlites

how does a webber make more noise than su's??? and in what way? does anyone have a video or the like of the difference in sound? curious as to how it is more noisey........

cheers,
Rodney

Good point Rude my HIF44 with a large oval shape K/N has got a lot of intake noise.Not as much from when i had a 45 on but you can hear coming down the road.Maybe the dashpot in a su sokes up a bit of intake noise

i kno wen i didnt tighten my carbie bolts up tight enough it scared the hell outta me, sounded like a supercharger about to pop off! (mybad i was tired n forgetful, turned it off very snappy)
i get a bit of intake noise from my twins, but how noisey are the webers and it what way?
cheers

PM BIAM. He knows how to keep neighbours happy.

An SU is a constant depression carb, it is nowhere near wide open right through the carb, except at top RPM. The piston doesn't reach full lift until then.
A sidedraft Weber or Dellorto has 2 barrels/chokes/throttle bodies, no pistons to damp the sound, and the breathing in each barrel is uneven in timescale.
ie the firing order on a Mini is 1-3-4-2 and it has 2 intake ports.
Displacing these numbers 1/2 a revolution for clarity, it fires 3-4-2-1. That is to say, #3 sucks then #4 on the same port, the #2 then #1 in the other port. With big chokes in the carb, it sounds a bit like 2 Harleys.....

Will-i-am was 100% correct. Love giving it a BLAT just to hear that noise

I am SOLD.... Love Webers!

Get Speedy to do handbrake stops out the front of the house and then drive a series of complete and incomplete Mokes ,with children and adults screaming in fear on board, flat out past them as they try and have a conversation with the other uqually annoyed neighbors

Naw - spend three and a half hours driving to Mudgee for the next NSWMCC weekend away trip to Mudgee and you wont want the constant induction noise along with the constant resonant exhaust noise.

It means no radio (or stereo what ever), no conversation and it simply becomes draining regardless of how stimulating it is in a quick blat or the inevitable traffic light GP.

Anton - you will grow past that one very quickly and ultimately there is bugger all difference in performance. You are not going spend 3.5 hours at 6000 rpm where there may be a performance difference against an SU.

Is it love or lust? I drove a very quick 1100 today (not mine! ) with a dellorto, and it was hot, but I couldn't live with it as daily. Long term it may wear on you.

And BIAM, that wasn't a handbrake stop, only using the pedal (the rears lock automagically).
