For those of you looking to upgrade your stock elbow
Re: For those of you looking to upgrade your stock elbow
I bought this same elbow last Fall. For those who're looking at this elbow with the intentions of buying it to polish it, save your money. As you can see from the pic posted above, there's alot of imperfections in the surface finish. This is called porosity. When I started sanding mine down all that happened was more and more air bubbles became exposed and left the surface looking like a piece of Swiss cheese. If you're okay with it in as-is form or are just wanting to buy one to paint, it's a good deal, but perfectionists need not apply.

Will this work well for a 93? I haven't got a clue as to how these things fit compared to non-MAF systems. I just got this car, and all that's not on right now, so I have no clue.

I wonder if you could smooth the elbow with some body filler and then repaint to get the finish and color you were after.
How thick is the aluminum...you could probably sand and buff to give it a polished look.

I have sent this company 5 messages in the last 3 days. Kinda make me wonder about the sale. I have already contacted e-bay about the problem. We will see what they say.
