By deleting the silencer are you really freeing up a few hp? I didnt think you gained any hp from a 1LE but then I read this. This elbow allows you to remove the ugly, power robbing "home plate" air box resonator under the hood of your Camaro for a clean look. It also makes a few extra horses and gives that satisfying intake "roar" when used with a cold air kit!


True or False?

 

Are you talking about the silencer (aka donkey dong)? You dont have to buy the 1le piece to get rid of the donkey dick. You can pull off the silencer and put in a shampoo cap (pert or suave i think). its not worth much, maybe worth 1-2hp, and it doesnt give any sort of "roar" that i've ever noticed

 

i think its a suave bottle cap works i didnt notice any diff removing the donkey dick ,

 

What do you guys use to hold the shampoo cap on? Will super glue work? JB-Weld? I know it gets a little hot in that area.

 

Where was this posted? The "home plate" reference is usually reserved for an appendage on the B-body cars.

Nevertheless, it's not a horsepower adder.

Its actually listed for an impala

 

An Impala is a B-Body, and has a totally different air intake elbow silencer than the F-Body. You are not going to see any measurable HP increase on an F-Body. I made my own version of the 1LE elbow13 years ago, and didn't notice any change in noise levels or performance.

 

I am wondering the same thing

 

at putting a shampoo cap on to replace the donkey dong
