I bought a cheap one from eBay also and I'm happy with it... My car is not a race car, so I dont think it matters much. I just had to clean it good when I got it, because there was quite a bit of residue from manufacturing on it.

The real question is why would you pay any amount of money for an aftermarket one when a stock one is plenty?

Because some people get tired of ripping the stock one after numerous times of taking it on/off...

If you take your time and take it off right it won't rip.

Get a 1LE. It's a stock elbow, minus the baffle. The stock elbows are bigger than most of the aftermarket elbows I've seen, not that they could become a restriction or anything.

Alot of people buy these for N20 setups. They drill a hole in the bottom and tap it for the nozzle. I am one.

Even though said dong, known by its technical term as a resonator, can actually improve performance?
