Default Intake elbow

Do any vendors sell an elbow like the aarons intake low profile elbow so you don't have to cut the cowl but get maximum flow? I tried sending aaron an email and I didn't get a response.

Or can you get away without cutting the cowl with just the 90 degree elbow?

I was thinking about getting the fast setup, but I think the edelbrock vic jr. with the elbow would be the better choice.

Interested in this as well. I'm thinking about changing my manifold and I'm not sure which to go with.

You aren't going to get maximum flow with a low profile setup. distribution will be a NIGHTMARE

I thought the distribution was better with the aarons elbow instead of the edelbrock?

What intake setup would be best for around 1k? If it's a little more, that's alright too. I need a throttle body as well.

Better is relative. Still not gonna be great. I've got a high profile elbow with alot of spacer underneath to help distribution and its still only "so-so"

As far as elbows go, the only one I got to fit without cutting the cowl was the Edelbrock ultra low profile. Have the Aaron's elbow now and had to do some cutting.
