I was changing my themostat today and took apart my bellows, and noticed my stock elbow has a rip in the bottom, so i need a new one, and was wondering which is better, the 1le , vortech , or trickflow. the only difference i see between the vortech and trickflow is about 10 bucks more for the vortech polished ($95) and the trickflow is (85) thats ceramic coated from summit. how much is the 1le, and where can i get one from. pros and cons of rubber vs. metal? also i will be installing a N20 shark nozzle into it as well.

 

i have the trick flow and i love it. i wouldnt reccomend anything else. it can be drilled for a nitrous nozzle too.

 

I like the looks of the trickflow too, does it fit rit up with your CAI?

 

1LE Elbow ....i guess it comes down to the look you like the best. to me it doesnt matter, as long as my motor is getting air
Also, the trickflow and vortec elbows dont work very well with a SLP CAI, unless you shave them down.....

 

i got the 1le form thunderracing it was pretty cheap and it works

 

agreed.

 

where can u get the lowest price for a 1le elbow, pn 25147210 for 93 w. non vented opti? is the cheapest gmpartsdirect?

Wow! the prices on the 1le bellows sure has gone up in past few years. I'm guessing those prices are for an opti.
Anyway, for some reason the bellows without the vent hole is more expensive. So just get the other one and plug the hole with a small panhead screw. You can put a bit of silicone on the threads to keep it put.
I have a vortech that I drilled and tapped for nx nozzles. But I did have to cut a couple of inches off of it to work with the Slp cold air.

 

I must say that I love the look of the elbows! Too bad they are so expensive!

I'm a college student for crying out loud

 

It just depends on which one you want. If you want cheap go with 1le. But if you want looks go with the trickflow. There is really no horsepower gain in the two. I bought the trick flow and love it. The trick flow slides on real easy and fits with my fipk with no modifications to it. So if i had to choose i would go with trick flow.

 

Opps, thought he was asking for prices on the 1LE and the nonvented opti, my bad. 1LE's from cromer are $48.

Also if you have an air foil, you will have to modify the vortech. So that the fin in the middle will clear the air foil.
