Default Air Intake Elbow System Question

I'm putting an LS1 in a 1981 Trans Am and need to fabricate an air intake elbow system for the car. Can anyone tell me what's available in terms of stock or aftermarket elbows that would work? Please also let me know of any other parts that would be needed.

Thank you!

Most companies that fabricate silicon hoses can get you what you need for a reasonable amount of money.

Man! go on ebay, and buy you one for 12 bucks. it's cheap, flexible, and gets the job done just the same as the plactic one that will cost you like 50 bucks.

+1 for silicon hose.

It's cost affective, looks cool, is rubust, available in just about any size or shape and has great heat properties.

What they're trying to say is nothing is really available aftermarket for these cars, in terms of an elbow, because of the design of our intake systems. You would have to fabricate something custom, out of silicone tubing.
