I dunno, I'm in the market for a nice elbow and not sure what to go with either. The bend on that one looks too rough though. Wonder what the inside diameter is in the bend? Don't someone make a nice low-profile sheetmetal elbow?

ah hell! i just ordered it. i will let everyone know how it works. i wont have no dyno #'s. but i will have some track times! i dont think it would be to constrictive on a forced induction motor. think about all the bends and intercooler the air already goes thru.

it looks like it will be fine

Well hell! I've got solids too... Forgot about those rasing the motor. crap. I've got a lift-off cowl, so hood clearance shouldn't be a prob, but I don't wanna lose my wipers. Is it just the plastic you had to cut?

Ditto. I wouldn't mind seeing one of the larger elbows though. A little cutting would be ok.
