actually, it was probably a 90 to start, and then got chopped off below what you can see
custom angle, less than 90, more than 60...maybe 75 ish
its also a long radius, and not the regular tight radius elbows you typically see
it may have been custom bent just for his car
I have friends that have done something similar

Ok just an update in case others are wanting to do the same thing.
The parts list I have so far is a 4" 60* bend pipe. I've contacted CX racing to see if they can make one. I did some quick searching to find one on eBay and other sites but I had no luck. I'm sure someone who is better than me at searching the Internet could locate one easier. My throttle body is a 92mm throttle body so that's why I'm looking for a 4" pipe. If you're running a factory 78mm throttle body, you will need a 3" pipe. 102mm throttle body, will use a 4" pipe also.
The radiator hold down that you see in the picture can be purchased from BMR or you can just use a procharger unit. I had an extra procharger shroud that I picked up for cheap so that's what I will be using.
What I'm looking to end up with is what is in this picture. I personally believe this is one of the best ram air setups you can make. For street driving, I will have the pipe split somewhere in the bumper and use a clamp to hold a cone filter on it so no rain gets in the intake.
I will keep you posted as I acquire the parts and start the build. This seems to be a big secret around here so I feel after 14+ years, it's time for a write up. Ill start a new thread for that when I get all the pieces.
