Default Sheet Metal intake elbow

Anyone know where I can get a sheet metal elbow for a victor e? Looking to put together a single plane intake. I dont really like the one from nitrousoutlet because it has such a short and quick 90. I liked the old one from intakeelbows. I contacted them and they said they dont make them anymore. I could fab up my own but I dont have much to go off of and it would take a lot longer. Time is money. Thanks guys

Your best bet is to browse the forums and places like racingjunk.

I sold an intakeelbows.com elbow not too long ago for cheap, its an awesome piece.

I talked to the guys at 6061.com and they said they no longer make the lt1 intakes. The one they used to have looks the best. NitrousOutlet has one and it doesnt look like it will flow as good. It has a real quick 90. I might just have to build my own unless someone out there still builds them.

I don't need a sheet metal elbow. I haven't seen any other ones for a LT style 58mm monoblade. I could not find a LT style one on wilsons website. Are you running a LS style throttle body?

Outside of Nitrous Outlet I can't think of anyone since everyone is sooo enamoured with LSx stuff it's getting harder everyday to find LTx stuff. And have you considered putting a 1" or 2" spacer under the Nitrous Outlet elbow to raise it up and decrease the radius of the turn?
By the way I have a new never used Nitrous Outlet elbow for sale if you're interested.

I agree. I was thinking about something like that. I want a smoother turn and that might just help me. Im going to look into custom making one but if not i'll probably just stick with that.
