Default Elbow for a BW 480

Im looking for a 5inch elbow for my BW, anybody have any help? Ive found one, but it was over 120 dollars. Siliconeintakes is close, but only has 4.5.

Im open for other suggestions as well, I know the car guys deal with a lot more space limitations than us

Heres the current ugly *** set-up on the far left

5" for what? Intake filter? That will be tight fit elbow.

Who's kit is on your truck? What is supporting the A/W IC?

Ya im not sure if the elbows will be tight enough, but something has to change.


Trick performance, from truck side, hes a sponsor.

The IC is supported by the bar that go out to the frame rails, you can see them if you look closely at the pic.

Lol! That pic about made me spit tea thru my nose.
Siliconeintakes has them, just picked up a 5 to 4 last week.

***edit*** Mine was a 5-4" reducer elbow. I have never had a prob with the 4" but a true 5" might make a little more power if you can fit it.

hahah, Rick has his own fans on his truck, and they fit a lot tighter than the factory fans. I might try the reducer one, just because its a tight fit. I know i can make it fit, I made the airfilter fit lol. I was moving soon, and dam sure wanted some kind of filter.
