Default fuel pump filter sock mod.

**********Please excuse my ignorace as I havn't seen the inside of a fuel bucket with a pump installed*********8
I've ordered a Racetronix plug & play fuel pump for 99+ fbody. My understanding of the filter sock is that when installed, has a 90* bend in it (Makes an "L" shape) It seams that this kink would restrict the inflow of fuel. Would it be better to have a rigid elbow where the bend is. Would this maximize filter surface area?

The sock is reinfoced it has a boning in it. It will be just fine the way it is designed.
