I have to replace my stock elbow, its starting to dry rot. When I install it does it matter where I put the vent? The elbow I am getting is a black powder coated one from CRT, new for like 55 shipped and it has the two rubber sleeves for the maf and the TB could I just poke a hole in one of the rubber sleeves (after maf or before TB...does it matter?) with a nail or something and stick it in there or does it have to be in a specific spot?

Alot of the companies come with everything to connect the vent including grommets. BUT they are usually not pre-drilled because of the fact that people with earlier LT1's that don't have the venting option don't need the hole. You would only have to drill a small hole anyway then the grommet just pops in.
