Sorry I can't give a picture, but I have the Trick Flow ceramic coated aluminum elbow. It looks great, especially with the vintage "350 300 Horspower" I stuck on it.

Summit sells the Vortech elbow in satin or polished. Both look great, but I recommend the polished.


Vortech made a deal with them on those. Summit sells them pretty cheap, although I can't remember the price right now.

I have a polished vortec and it looks exactly the same as the trick flow. Except I think there is orange on the trick flow end where the clamps go. Vortec is black on the end.

TrickFlow recently changed to black. My elbow came with orange couplings, which look bad unless you have a 30th anniversary edition car. I just painted them with high temp paint. Haven't had any cracking problems either.

You can get a chrome one from Trick Flow, without the divider down the middle of the elbow. Just get the ceramic coated aluminum one. It's $90.00.

I was wanting a chrome one, help my engine bay look nicer along with polishing my fuel rails, I painted my SLP CAI deep cherry red to make it look better than black since everything on my car is black.
