Default Elbow plug?
what are you guys using to plug the bottom side elbow? I know the roadmasters and buicks use a round plug... our camaro ones are oblong... anyone know what to use on it?

Or get a full CAI and eliminate the elbow all together.

CAIs don't eliminate the elbow.

i used a top of an old spice deodorant, wrapped it with duck tape to make it thicker and shoved it in. Zip tied it externally to clamp it in place. Didn't notice a difference in power.. at all.

Fomula413s idea seems the most solid to me. All those other ones would work though.

Funny I was just wondering how to quickly get rid of my friggen silencer, stupid thing...

Thunder Racing used to sell a billet aluminum plug for that hole, cost like $50 or something. It's discontinued, was made by MBA who is defunct.
