Talking Just another LT1 w/Vortech Polished Elbow

http://www.cardomain.com/member_page...=183561&page=2

Finally got it cut down to fit with the SLP CAI. Once the mufflex y pipe gets here the Jethot LTs are going in.

I think a polished radiator cover would look a lot nicer than that plastic (broken corner) crap on there.

Looks good ! I need to get me one of those soon. It really dresses up the engine bay. Yeah I think a polished radiator shroud would look good to. Post pics if you get one.

Yup.. It's so cool that Vortech made those things available.


You know what I always wanted? Blue anodized valve covers.. But has anyone ever seen them in a centerbolt?

that thing is a piece of junk. I just put mine on last week and it looks good but it doesnt fit with the rest of the stuff i had. I still havent connected the hose that connects to the back of the K&N CAI. whatever that does.

I know out of the box the elbow typically needs modification to fit with any aftermarket CAI... but to call it junk? With a hacksaw and some time I turned the junk into what you see there.

I understand, I wasted about 20 dremel cutting discs and 3 saws all blades till I finally gave up and just used my trusty old hacksaw. heh.
