Vortech and Trick Flow make metal elbows. Summit sells them both.

I have the trickflow too. My old 1LE was collapsing at the MAF/CAI junction but the TFS elbow holds everything up and its sturdy.

I have a CPT elbow (ebay) and I'm not all that impressed with the quailty of the fit, or the cheap silicone connectors, or the clamps either, eventually I'm going to get rid the CPT one and buy a trickflow. For the $10 you save on a cheaper one its really not worth it.

If you're just trying to smooth out the airflow in the bellows, there are much better places to spend your money, the stock one is smooth inside except for the resonator attachment site.

Thumbs up

i had the TF elbow on my 95 formula and was fully satisfied with it, great fitment, i bought it becasue my rubber one had a huge rip in it and i figured another rubber one would eventually break.

The metal elbows also look better.

Go to Home Depot (or similar), plumbing section. Buy a Fernco 1056-33 3"x3" sewer pipe connector, $6 with two stainless clamps. Heat in hot water so it gets flexible, push it over the throttle body. Put everything back together.



The SLP airbox kit includes a rubber bellows, not metal.

From the pictures I have seen of that kit, it appears that the bellows is still a rubber piece.

I need a metal one for mounting 2 fogger nozzles in, I have a few of the fernco's , one connecting maf to filter, I am wanting to put 2 fogger nozzles as far away from the tb as I can,like directly behind the maf and I would rather have metal but I will try that first
