The above picture
shows the cross section of the tapered shape that is important to air flow. This
shape is reproduced inside our 45mm Taper ITB’s not on the outside.
You will
also notice if you use a 40mm ID Base Plate and a 40mm Extension that is taper
bored from 40mm to 45mm you can run our 45mm ITB’s on your old 40mm Manifolds.
This gives you a true taper to the intake track before the manifold,
not a carb-like choke.
Also, the Tapered Extensions can be placed between the ITB and Horn for
a 3” long taper to mimic that of a conventional horns! What’s most
important here is to not get caught up in the looks so much, but what the
ITB/Horn Taper actually does. Also remember, we give you easy mounting Filters with the
Horns, not leave it up to you to figure out how to filter your own engine.
As a side note, conventional velocity stacks that fit other Companies ITB’s will
fit ours as well, as we use the same 63mm/2.5” bolt pattern that they do. You just
drill the mounting holes out .035” larger and bolt them up.
