I have the Trick Flow elbow with the K&N CAI. Everything went together fine. I drilled and tapped the elbow with a NX fitting for my shark nozzle also. Looks pretty pimp.

Does the Trick Flow elbow come with all the appropriate connections for the wire and sensors, or do they need to be drilled and tapped?

no drilling required unless you have a vented opti which you have to make a small hole for the vent tube. piece of cake.

It just doesn't have the hole for a vented opti. Also it won't fit up good with all cai. You will have to cut it.

Well, I think it a bit much to charge 90$ for a little alluminum elbow, just like a 50$ airfoil that's a tiny sliver of aluminum that takes 2$ to make. Not to mention 200-300$ for a plastic CAI kit. These companies are ripping us off, and we keep eating the stuff up.
