Conversion from tbi to carb nearly complete (vid)

Took this video today. I thought I wouldn't get the car back together but it's turned out pretty good I think. Trying to link to UTUBE.

I just cut the ends off the cooling lines and had them brazed to some -an fittings then had the lines made up at a local industrial supply house.

I just had a mufflex y-pipe on at the time. I don't really like how it fits. I'm not sure what path I will take.

I suspected long tubes. Shorties can never match the sound.

I getting it was running out of the Y-pipe then?
