lt1 intake elbow
The one for the 93-94 doesn't have the provision for the Opti venting b/c it wasn't a production thing at the time. You could achieve it by punching a hole in the elbow to plug the intake vent tube into, but that would just look tacky, imho.

The resonator/silencer/donkey dong is the tube that hangs down from the stock LT1 elbow. If you want a stock looking elbow that does not have that, get a 1LE. If your car is a stock 93, get the one for the 93-94 model years. It won't have any holes in it for opti venting. If your car has been modified to accept vented opti's, get the 95+ model.

Even sillier question Can a stock elbow that has lost it's resonator simply have the hole plugged and still function right?

EDIT: use a black spray paint can top, black electrical tape an black zip ties so it doesn't look all hacked.

A lot of people used to used lids off stick deodorant, Pert shampoo bottles etc. It needs to be something oblong/oval because that hole is not round.

I mistakenly ordered the wrong one(from GM) and it didn't have the vacuum line port for the Opti....I got the right part number(for my '96) and it came with the opti vacuum port.
