Intake Elbow, which one?

What are you guys running for intake elbows? I have a K & N FIPK on my car but I still have the stock elbow with the baffle on it. So what do you guys like for an elbow? 1LE, Vortech, Trick Flow? (Any others that are available that I missed) Who has good prices on these as well? I did a search on intake elbows this morning but I did not find much. As always, thanks, you guys know your stuff.

Trickflow is worth it just because its so much easier to get on and off. The clamps that come with it suck though, mine stripped right out.

I have the Vortek. The only thing I don't like is the heat soak I get with the aluminum

I have the ceramic coated Trickflow elbow and it is a very good quality and sharp looking part. The only downfall is the cost since it is close to a hundred bucks after shipping.

I have used both the 1le and the trick flow. Both are equally good in performance,look wise and fitment trick flow wins it.but for the stock look,the 1le is good. i have the 1le on my 94 caprice staion wagon right now.

I have the trick flow I have no issues with the clamps at all. TO me an elbow is 95% looks pref and 5% actual power difference. Any of them will be fine. Find one you like the price and looks of and be done. Hope that helps.

Save your money and just plug the stock one. Heads and Shoulders and Pert shampoo caps fit perfectly. I added a little black RTV to make sure it sealed. Can't be any different from a 1LE.
