I'm just confused...

When some one does that don't they immediately **** themselves a little, say "oh ****" when they start the car, and fix it?

Apparently that person just said "**** it... car for sale"

Hey!? What's the Problem? More air in = More air out!
Bet it's fast too!

Just start it in gear and dump the clutch and hang on!

I see your timing belt, and raise you my throttle body plates!

LoL J/k..

I can't see from the pic. Did they remove the rear butterflies as well?

If so, pretty damn funny.

some people think that by "removing the secondary butterflies" they take it literally and remove ALL of them. durr, only remove the secondary "choke" butterflies...
