Checking my TB and noticed my intake elbow is tore. I have a 94 1LE M6 Z28, and my elbow does not have the "donkey dong" and the resonator hole is molded closed from the factory. Thunder Racing has a 1LE elbow for $70. I want to make sure I get one that has the resonator hole molded shut like my factory one. Is that what I want from Thunder Racing? Where else could I get one, and please don't say Ebay. BTW- what's up with GMpartsdirect's website? - not working. Does anyone have the part number from what I'm looking for? Shoebox?
Thanks

 

Just get one off of ebay for like $15. Actually, why don't you save yourself some money and get about 12" of 3" PVC piping, a 90 degree elbow and some duct tape--worked great for me!

All joking aside, the Thuder Racing 1LE elbow is the correct one you're looking for. It's P/N 25147210 for the GMPartsDirect site, although I think this one has the silencer on it.

 

That is the right part # for your year.

Get your GM parts from either of these guys. The elbow will be much cheaper than Thunder's price.

Or get the 25147187 which is for 95-7 and the only difference is the small vent hole for the opti, which you can plug[and use later if you change opti's] it's cheaper by a little bit..[10-20 bux?]
I paid 45 from Jason Cromer last July..

 

Go to www.ls1speed.com They have the elbow there for $59.99 That's pretty damn cheap if you ask me.

 

I got one from GMpartsdirect.com for ~ $54. I changed it out one day in a rest area after school.

That was one hung donkey.

so thats the one with the silencer or not?
if so do you know the part # for the one without the silencer? thanks

When I looked that P/N up on GMPartsDirect it said "and silencer" so I don't think that's what you're looking for. Someone may want to correct me but I don't think GM sells the elbow w/out the silencer. Thunder Racing (P/N 20-25147210) or someone mentioned LS1 Speed has the elbow w/out the silencer.

 

Let's clear something up. The 1LE elbow is a factory part. The elbows that Thunder, LGM and others sell is the same factory part that has been marked for re-sale. All the 1LE elbows come from GM.

1993-1994 1LE intake elbow
(no vent hole for opti) GM p/n 25147210

1995-1997 1LE intake elbow
(for vented opti) GM p/n 25147187

Neither of these has the silencer.

You won't find a cheaper price than from Jason or Dal.

The reference to silencer was in the "category" not the part description, which is "duct asm [assembly]".

 

...and someone has corrected me...

(See what happens when I try to think!)

 

ok cool, well as of now my 94 is a non vented opti but i am switching to a vented opti this winter. should i go ahead and buy the elbow for the vented opti? what would it take to run it on my car for a few months untill i switch over. thanks again shoebox!!!

 

Once again, everything I always wanted to know. I can see clearly now. I will call Dal or Jason with the GM part number.
Thanks everyone.

 

Read my above post
I gave the 95-7 vented elbow GM p/n, said it's cheaperthan the 93-4 one, and that the hole for the vent can be plugged easily...
[I plugged mine with a small screw.. no problem...]

 

PacePerformance.com has the elbow for $48 i deal with them alot i like 'em

 

i bought the 1le elbow from gmpartsdirect last week and it was 44.50$ and about 7 for shipping

cannot beat that, and it works great
