I've searched for the last hour & a half. I'm finding where people have said putting a "speed bump in the decklid would work but that's not what I'm after.

On a 63 Beetle dual port with IDF carbs & taller manifolds like the CB Big Beef, will everything clear with decklid stand-offs or will i need to hunt for different manifolds? Would I be better off with short manifolds, offset, space saver, or? The filters & linkage will be the ones included in the CB 6416 kit, but mine is missing the manifolds so I'll need to buy new ones. https://www.cbperformance.com/product-p/6416.htm

Thanks in advance.

Hmmm, might have been me

Decklid standoffs will clear everything with big beef IDF manifolds, YES

However the decklid ceases to perform it's main function of keeping rain out of the carburetors, so, be aware of that.

been there done that

Thanks. I've had the stand offs for a while, I'm not driving in the rain.
