well i started to pull my motor today and noticed my LT1 stock elbow has a huge tear in it so which one is better the Metal elbows or the 1LE elbows??

My Red 93Z-28

I have the 1LE and it works fine, I think it is only about half the price (~$50) of the Vortech or Trickflow ones too (~$100 for the niced polished ones) but it has been awhile since I bought mine and looked in Summit to price the others.

Can't go wrong with either one.

I like the look of the metal ones. This is mostly an appearance thing anyway.

How much is the 1LE bend from GM? I need to get one eventually but didn't like the $100 summit prices for the aluminum ones.

Thats the best I could find for now, but there are cheaper places to get it, I think the dealership is cheaper than that.

I paid $65ish plus shipping with a couple of other items from www.vandevere.com.

Not sure what I'm supposed to be looking at here? Can you please explain?

I have the polished trickflow and it's pretty.

Although, it gets pretty warm with the engine. i never checked if that was the fact also with the factory rubber bend

The CRT elbow is much smaller then the opening of the TB, you are looking at it from the backside. IMO it just dont look like it would flow very well. I dont know where the pic is but it fit the stock TB fine.
