Default Air intake elbow??????

Just wondering if i buy an aluminum intake elbow do I need the rubber sleeves and what not....or can i just buy the elbow buy itself and it will slip on my intake with ease......

Im not too familar with LT1's but if I remember correctly the elbow attaches directly to the TB and the stock elbow is rubber, so in that case yea you will need the rubber pieces, or will need to fab something up on your own

Yea Im 99.9% sure your goin to need it, theres no way for metal to seal on metal like that and not have a vacum leak.

If you look at this pic it will kinda show how it should be set up with the metal elbow replacing the rubber one
