Default Cast aluminum 180 degree elbow for LT F-Body?

Doesn't someone make a cast aluminum 180 deg elbow
for the air inlet for the LT-1 F-body..?

I've got a D-1 sc and it'll suck the flexible tube (that
came with my kit) "flat"..

thanks ahead for any info!

Do you mean 90 degree? There is no such thing as a 180 degree "elbow"... that would be a straight pipe

Not true... elbow and "U" pipe are technically two different things . Picture a 90 degree elbow. open the elbow to 100 degrees now, then 110, etc. If you had an elbow opened to 180 degrees it would be a straight pipe. Now if you said you were looking for a U pipe, then I wouldnt have poked I was just busting *****.

This is how I was looking at it (thought of it already in a prebent 90 dege shape). However, if you start at a straight pipe and work backwards (opposite my drawings), then yeah, 180 degee = U shape
