Not really, it won't fit on my car anyway.

Just curious what makes it any different from a regular 4" elbow?

yeah.. just take a gaze at the picture... its nothing more than a 90* aluminum 4'' elbow with some sawzall marks on it where it was trimmed down...

people forget that its on the intake side and it doesnt have to hold boost... it just needs to be clamped on there kinda, i say kinda tight.

you gotta bump the bottom of your radiator forward...
not hard at all to do... unless you got an F1 then you might have to remove the condenser and then move the whole RAD. forward.

wow... i wasnt trying to be a jerk.. i was just making a funny

any ways i think you could fit the elbow in there but youll have to saw the cross piece out and weld it back up about 2-3 inches forward (or more if need be) you could paint it oem color and still look very nice.

then stop F'n around, cut off your lower radiator core, and move it forward a couple inches, reweld it on, and have the radiator angled more, then do somethign similar to the top....
