Default People with SLP CAI and TF Elbow come on in!

When you installed the TF elbow, did it fit flush with the throttle body or was it off slightly. No matter what I do I cannot get them to be flush. I'm just wondering if I'm the only one...

I have an aluminum elbow, similar to the TF unit, but I haven't even put it on the car yet since I'm having some other fitment issues with the SLP CAI. You can check it out here: https://ls1tech.com/forums/lt1-lt4-modifications/661764-slp-cai-fitment-lt1-warning.html. It might explain your alignment problem.

I HAVE THE TF ELBOW HAD TO TRIM A LITTLE ALUMINUM OFF THE END THAT GOES TO THE TROTTLE BODY. JUST ON THE CORNER. AFTER THAT EVERYTHING LINED UP LIKE I WANTED. NO PROBLEMS WITH LEAKING EITHER. i WOULD POST PICTURE, BUT OUT OF TOWN FOR WORK.

I cut about an inch off my Trick Flow on the MAF end to make it fit with my SLP CAI.

Mine fits, It does not line up perfectly, but the Flexible rubber tube seals and it works fine.
