CB's Big Beef Itake Manifolds

Has anybody used these on an IM car with Weber 44IDFs?
I just bought a pair and they look much taller than the current ones I have.
I'm wondering if they'll fit in the engine compartment.

Thanks

Dave

I had the same problem with the big beef and the 44's in my vs. I had to go to short K&Ns to be able to close the lid. I don't like using filters with less flow capabilities, but the only alternative is to toss the big beefs. Since I personally ported and polished the manifolds, I decided against the alternative. I have run the car with and without the short filters and could not detect any difference.

Thanks Richard,

Did you have any problems with the clearance on the cross bar linkage?

Thanks

David: I have an 84 IM vw pan based car. I need to run the shorter offset manifolds to clear the bodywork. I

Thanks Bruce

Just finished installing, no clearance problems at all.
