do it this way, take the factory elbow pull the resonator tube off (donkey dick) put a pert plus lid in its stead and paint it black, nobody will ever know the difference.

You can gain a few things from buying a new elbow. First off DO NOT buy the replacement 1LE, it still ugly and rubber/plastic.
-Ceramic/polished aluminum would be smoother and would keep cooler.
*Rubber/plastic would suck up more heat.
-Ceramic/polished aluminum would be cleaner and nicer looking.
*Stock is ugly.
-Ceramic/polished aluminum would not have the donkey dong at all.
*Stock/1LE still has the extention but its blocked off (I think)
-Ceramic/polished aluminum would have a "intake roar"
*Stock/1LE wouldnt have much of a difference in noise.
-Ceramic/polished aluminum Would gain some HP nothing in the seat of your pants though but it all adds up.
*Stock/1LE would soak up more heat and be more turbulent.
That is how I see it, I plan on buying a ceramic coated black elbow myselfm I think its worth it.

I am lookin into an aluminum one from summit. My intake is real loud now, and I have the stock one with the Dong blocked off. They sell it in a kit with the clamps and the rubber pieces to make it fit snug, and all the pieces where all the conections go in.

the ceramic really wont add to the roar versus a 1le..look at the inside of the 1le..it serves the same purpose at directing the airflow..yeah it may get a lil more warm and not look as great but it is functional....but if your gonna spend the money get one that looks good
