i have a sense of humor..
you just seem upset about the post.. you **** on the post from the start.. people get on here to forward information and help others, and then theres monkeys like you.
i guess your the type that pays to have everything done..
The only services I have paid for on my car are assembling a 9" center section and my rotating assembly for my 383. Everything else I've done with my own two hands.
And you're right, I'm only on here to monkey around. I've never helped anyone.
But look on the bright side, if this elbow of yours doesn't turn out to work, you can pick up the FLOWMG for half the price! Remember, shipping is included. Thread Starter

I guess you're the type of person who expects everyone to agree with you. I didn't say "WOW THATS THE BIGGEST PIECE OF **** ELBOW I'VE EVER SEEN! YOU'RE A DOUCHEBAG FOR BUYING IT!", did I? I said "I wouldn't put it on my car. That was my opinion. Sorry you considered that "shitting on the post."

Remember, shipping is included. most people dont care to overpay for menial tasks and items, such as setting up a 9inch center section, or a shortblock assembly..***** easy, it isnt rocket science.
you make the suspension components on your car? or you buy them and bolt them on? bet that cost you how much $ you got in your car anyways? i have $300 in my entire engine.. have about $2500 in my whole car.. some people dont like pissing away money on overpriced items and labor.
i guess your the type of person that buys every bolt-on item you can, and say you built the car,
you probably have a nice bolt-on ride..
nope, i dont care if anyone agrees with me or not.. i bet alot of people will buy an elbow that cost $20 that would be an upgrade from stock,before they buy one that cost $50 or a 1Le elbow that can cost upwards of $100. then they rip to pieces after they've been on a car for a year or actually used...

dude seriously its just an elbow, if you are going to let some people on here bend you that out of shape over a 20 dollar piece of silicone, maybe you shouldnt be on here. but everyone on here is telling you that its crap because well it is. people like Joe know what they are doing and they are trying to help people like you who mod their cars wrong. 2500 stall+crapmaster catback=fail. you cant act like you know everyting on here, that gets you nowhere.

does joe know? does he own a flowbench? is he an engineer of some type? a rocket scientist? please inform me..

The guy who lists a throttle body air foil as a mod in his signature says building a 383 is a menial task. LMFAO. OMFGLOLZ you only spent $2500 on your whole car?! 
WOW! 
But wait ladies and gentleman, he has a DESCREENED MAF! Look out! And yeah, I've purchased as many things as I can to make my car faster, better, and safer (Isn't that the point?!). So far it's working. On that note, call me when you get out of the 14s (unlikely, since you'll probably need to spend more than $25 for that extra power).
Honestly, at this point you're just making yourself look retarded.
Group purchases can be arranged once I receive a minimum order quantity of 20. I think that's a hell of a deal, considering everyone will probably want at least 2 a piece!

IT'S A ******* ELBOW. :LOL: I'm no engineer, but I've been around these cars for quite some time and OBVIOUSLY have a much more solid understanding of these cars than you do.

i rest my case, you cant even build an engine or setup a 9 inch, so what do you know?
^^^ id like to know that also. previous owner messed mine up. Some people just suck at life.
as my intake elbow was ripped to **** and folded up into my throttle body blocking air flow i went with the ebay special. 53$ or something like that. I plan to see improvements over stock only because i wont have a giant loose rubber flap blocking my TB and post MAF pirate air leak lol. The ebay special is closer to a TF elbow also but half the price.
Dont need half a paycheck to buy an intake either, used parts arnt always a bad thing, Check out CraigsList. Lingenfelter also has one for 159.99 NEW

The hurt butt is strong with this thread.
My stock elbow was torn by someone that did some work on my car. They tried to fix it with electrical tape. The 1LE elbow seems a bit thicker than the factory elbow, but that may just be my imagination. If you pay attention to what you're doing, I see no reason why the stock elbows should ever tear.

I like my idea, if there is also a way to ensure no rain ingestion.
Maybe a prefilter in the beginning of it or some type of sponge or what not ?
The other possible would be to put another bend in it and a filtered drain of some form, but I was trying to get the least amount of bends, for obvious reasons.
I mean, even the hood ram air in forward direction, how does that system ensure no water ingestion ?
Maybe something similar can be done on the desired set up ?
