Anyone w/ Cheaper or Custom Elbow??come in
Does anyone have a cheaper solution to a Intake Elbow??
A decent one off summit goes for $93!!!

Ebay has none of them for any cheaper either.
I'm asking for ideas to make a custom Elbow or any place that has them any cheaper
Is it even worth getting one of these? my stock one bugs me with the big black donky dong hanging (sound resonator) hanging from it.
thankSS

I think I remember reading about removing the resonator from the stock elbow and using a properly shaped piece of wood to plug the resultant opening. I believe it was secured with a hose clamp. Can't get much cheaper than that!

the ebay elbows are just a knockoff of trickflow. they are NOT polished at all. you will have to sand and polish it yourself. takes a little while, but they come out pretty good

I did the good ol' shampoo bottle trick. Siloconed the bottom of an Herbal Essences bottle in there are cut the rest off. Perfect fit, cost nothing (already had the bottle and silicone), and I am very happy with it.
