Are any of these elbows good for power or do they just look good?

They dont do much of any thing other than look nice far as the after market ones go. people started using the 1le because it didnt have the long silencer on cars with a/c attached to it like stock does, 1le looks like the stock rubber elbow with out the silencer.

Anyone feel strongly one way or the other? Im buying one and I cant decide whether to go ceramic or plastic. Im leaning toward ceramic though.

get the ceramic coated one, it graps less heat, wouldnt make much of a deference but everything for more power.
