On the stock elbow, there is a large tube that runs into the bottom on the elbow and my trickflow elbow doesn't have anywhere for it to go. I know i need to drill a 5/8 hole for the optispark to go, but what do I do about the large tube on the bottom of the stock elbow? What is that tube for? Thanks

 

i believe its referred to as the donkey *******, its an intake tract silencer. if you take it out it wont hurt, lt4s didnt have it either, and i dont believe any of the aftermarkets do either. hope this helps, prorac1

 

So what do I do with that hose? Does it go anywhere? Whats the purpose of it?

 

if its the donkey ******* it shouldnt go anywhere, just down between the fans, i think we are talking about two differant hoses/tubes. prorac1

 

If you're talking about the large hard thing that looks like a crooked ***** then don't worry about it. You don't need it.

 

Its the one right off the bottom of the elbow, right below it. Looks to be oval shaped.

 

Dont need the tube.

 

Yeah it's not needed..................

 

Alright. I just have to drill 1 hole in it for my opti spark then, and plug in the other one. Just pull that tube out and put it away with my stock intake?

 

yep

 

So what is the purpose of the tube on the stock elbow?

What exactly is an intake tract silencer? I am 16 and learning? No purpose to it?

 

its just supposed to allow air to go down into the tube and take the noise from the intake, but personally I couldn't tell a difference in sound, take it off, no problem
