Default Intake ducting elbows

Is there anyplace like home depot/ace/ect that sells intake 90 degree bends like the one from jagsthatrun.com?

The ones Lowes sell will not work for me as they're not a tight enough bend (not to mention the bulged ends look tacky).

I ordered the wrong part from Jagsthatrun by accident because I forgot they rate the hose at OD instead of ID so the 3" adapter I bought might have 2" ID if I'm lucky...no way that's going over the MAF.

I think this is the elbow you're looking for. It's a 4" to 3.5" reducer elbow so should be perfect for connecting throttle body to the MAF sensor.

Just hop in your car and drive down to Dover today and I'll give you everything you need. Elbow, aluminum tube, and filter. The aluminum tube still has the IAT sensor in it.

We have the Spectre 4" 90 degree silicone elbows in stock. it is a super tight radius, in fact, the inner bend just clears the throttle body flange!!! If you get a Spectre air cleaner, it comes with the right bushings to make it the MAF fit in the 4", or you can get an adapter. Give Tim a call today to get one ordered.

thanks guys, I was just hoping someone knew of a chain store I could get one local, I need a 3.5" to 3.5" just to do some work on cold air, I just ordered the wrong part

I'll just exchange it for the right one and wait I suppose...I need to not order parts late at night when I'm not thinking properly

I already have a 90 bend from the tb to maf and a filter, I just want another 90 to send the filter down where I'm going to make a scoop for cold air

Pep Boys carries some of those intake parts. Sometimes the selection is not great.

Most of the bigger parts chains sell Spectre intake parts. That's where I got my 90* elbow.

We are an O'Reilly's affiliate, and they do carry some parts, just as was stated, on limited quantites and parts.
We are ordering directly from Spectre now, it is just easier that way.
