yeah exactly Dave! then they'll all be that worse off, it's one thing to teach someone a lil history it's another to have to reteach them the right way! old school hot rodders may have designed their own intakes, but i've never seen one look this bad! theres a reason why we know names like edelbrock, so cal speedshop, isky, etc etc etc,,,they not only had their hand in designing functional products but they also made sure they looked like a finished piece worthy enough to bolt onto your pride n joy.
