ORIGINAL: dimebag

can i ask why you went back to stock?
Because ihave to take it to state referee smogging station for a ticket that i got.

Sucks because i thought elderbrock was going to send me a sticker of an e.o. # for the part number 3820to not change the intakeand they send me a paper listing ofall the other elderbrock intakes except the one i have.

So I just changed it.

I just finished putting it back on it was aligned right. Thanks for the help everyone

make sure your upper and lower intake are tightened down good together(where they meet)
