I didnt mind doing it. I think it turned out halfway decent once I got everything welded back in.

Not to mention the horsepower difference between the "retro" setup and something like the fast intakes is not to far apart. I think it looks meaner too.

Lol, its ok trust me your not the only one to have made that mistake. Like I said you dont see to many of these setups unless they are carbed. Thats why everyone just assumes thats what it is. Thanks for the comments
