Is it worth it to get me an aftermarket intake elbow or even a 1LE? While I have it off to do my T-stat I figured I'd replace the stocker if it'll make a difference. If no difference power-wise, then I guess an aftermarket one will look better in there.

 

You might see an ever so slight power gain, if any.. A aftermarket elbow would be more so geared towards visual appeal, such as the ceramic coated Trickflow elbow.

 

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.....it would definitely stand out.

 

Oh--and it'll fit my SLP CAI, right?

 

I put a 1LE on mine and I dont even notice a difference to be honest. There might be a few hp but no SOTP. The 1LE is nice because it keeps the stock appearance without that silencer tube.

 

Yeah, I had thought about a 1LE but the Trick Flow crossed my mind because I am looking for a bit of a different look for under my hood--I'd like that little bit of dress-up. I plan on going to more shows this spring and summer so I need to do some stuff.

 

what does that silencer tube do? dur silences. but what? the intake sound? iguess what i'm asking is what is its necessity?

 

Which one on this page should I get?

frickin 92 dollars......damn.

 

Yeah, they're not cheap but they do look good. I lucked out though, the previous owner installed the ceramic coated Trickflow elbow on my car.
