Dual carbs for sale
The difficulty of the cost of being different is worth more than the ease of the mediocrity of being normal. No time to be broke.

Re: Dual carbs for sale
Both are pretty much the same.
10k is a good price, 16k is getting close to the cost of genuine webers.
The earlier hpmx carbs were crap, apparently the newer ones are fairly good, but i cant confirm.
Empi is generally associated with poor and crap quality. For this reason, I personally wouldnt touch them, I'd rather spend a bit more and get new genuine webers.
If the carbs are good and you have the patience and skill to set them up properly, then the 10k set is a good buy

Re: Dual carbs for sale
Agree with Tony. I have zero faith in EMPI, especially not as carbs.. when they leak, it's going to be game over, and they WILL leak.

Live and learn as usual. Thanks for your input
I'll learn to steer away from the EMPI's.
