| Has anybody tried making a cold air intake system from those 2" intercooling pipe kits from Ebay? |

Yes it has been tried & done with varying components/success. He probably just wants to duct dual Webers to the stock intake air oval outlet.
W1K1 in Canada has the best one so far!

my 71 sb has dual carbs and the EMPI filters are restricting air, car runs fine with air filters, as soon as I put them on they choke. so I'm looking into alternatives. |

I just found 21 discussions on dual carburetor air cleaners by using the Search tab below the Forums tab.. There have been VW Fox/Quantam/Australian etc components found to use in a Type 3 setup. Read through these 21 discussions & you'll find the components used/needed.

I have read a lot the last 3 weeks, non of which mentioned the intercooler piping kits. I was just wondering if anyone had success with it. |

2"tubing will not supply your carbs with enough air unless you are putting a turbo on it.
I started with 2.5" oval tubing, the engine fell on it's face around 4K when it ran out of air. the filter was fed by both the stock location and a scoop under the car, pushing through 2.5" hose.
My current oval intake is equivalent to a 4" diameter tube. still fed by 2 2.5" tubes.

thanks for the feedback. will scrap that idea lol. think I will measure the cfm needed for each carb this weekend as a starting point. it's stock at the moment but I'm planning on building a 1776 this winter. |

Using an online calculator I get about 150cfm for a 1600. That's about 75 per carb at 6500 RPM.
