it would push up the price of the premium as it is a performance modification, Also, i believe a 45 weber is way to big for a 998.

Their too much for your 998, but someone with a really tricked up 1275 or bigger will find these usful!

You only use half of each one in a twin webber set up. You have to butcher them and plug off fuel passages.

One webber 45 on a 998 is way too much, maybe a full race 8,500rpm screamer.

Fuel consuption of a side draught webber is pants compared to an SU
