I love the sound of them too, been geeky and searched youtube for Mini weber etc to hear some different cars with webers.

Will be adding to that list of videos once mines back up and running.

[minilee94]

okay is a 45 smaller or somethink then

[Cooperman]

The number, 40, 45, 50, etc, is the diameter of the choke tubes in mm.

Yeah I thought it was that lol and why will a 45 be better of its bigger ?

Because it will pass enough air through it to make the thing go. That's unless you fit really small chokes and strangle it.

Oops posted twice phone is crap just spoke to a racing mini specialist and he tunes race minis and he had said it will run fine but it can take a while to find the right jet to make it work well

[racingbob]

as said before forget the swan neck manifold
sounds you have already made your mind up about the weber

a 44 with a cone filter makes a good noise

if its a daily car use a SU 44 if its second car for fun yes go for the weber

[Artful Dodger]

weber all the way if its not a daily..

[racingenglishcars]

An HIF44 with a short stack will perform just as well or better than the weber and sound just as good. OK nearly as good. And give the same power, OK nearly as much, but yes, where you need it, and give more mpg, much more.

Swan neck is terrible - and a 40 DCOE is too small for a 1275 anyway - you need a 45 DCOE - and deep pockets to pay for the heavy fuel consumption! HIF 44 is THE way to go.
